Microsurgical resection of a radicular hemangioblastoma with subarachnoid hemorrhage: how I do it:

Abstract

Background

Hemangioblastomas (HBL) are benign tumors occurring sporadically or associated with Von Hippel-Lindau syndrome (VHL).

Method

We present the pre-, per-, and postoperative course of a rare case with radicular HBL presenting with subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) in the frame of VHL. We describe the microsurgical approach.

Conclusion

Complete microsurgical in bloc resection has been performed. Postoperative course was uneventful.
