Hemangioblastoma mimicking tentorial meningioma: preoperative embolization of the meningeal arterial blood supply--case report.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A 72-year-old male presented with a primary hemangioblastoma of the posterior fossa with unusual dural attachment and meningeal arterial blood supply from the external carotid artery and marginal tentorial artery. Preoperative embolization facilitated complete resection of the tumor with no resultant neurological deficit. Hemangioblastoma must be included in the differential diagnosis of tumors with dural involvement. Preoperative embolization is very useful in such tumors.

Hemangioblastoma located in the posterior incisural space mimicking a tentorial meningioma: a case report
BACKGROUND The most common type of vascularized tumor located in the posterior incisural space in older patients is the falcotentorial meningioma. Solid hemangioblastomas are rarely found in this particular area of the brain. To the best of our knowledge, the case of only one patient harboring a hemangioblastoma not associated with Von Hippel-Lindau disease has been previously reported in the l...

Hemangioblastomas are sporadic tumors found in the cerebellum or spinal cord. Supratentorial hemangioblastomas are rare, and those with meningeal involvement are extremely rare and have been reported in only approximately 130 patients. Here, we report the case of a 51-year-old female patient with supratentorial meningeal hemangioblastoma detected 5 years after surgical resection of an infratent...
متن کاملOnyx Embolization of a Meningioma with a Dysplastic Aneurysmal Anterior Cerebral Artery Vessel
Preoperative embolization of meningiomas can be safely performed using a variety of embolic agents. Most commonly, the vascular supply from branches of the external carotid artery is the target of embolization. In our report, we detail the treatment of a patient with a parafalcine meningioma that received its supply via branches of the anterior cerebral artery. One of the feeder vessels appeare...

A 63-year-old woman performed a magnetic resonance imaging because of persistent headache, which demonstrated a left parietal convexity tumor. A digital subtraction angiography was performed in order to plan the preoperative embolization. It showed the persistence of primitive trigeminal artery associated with the persistence of stapedial artery1,2. The stapedial artery, arising from the cervic...
