Sporadic Intradural Extramedullary Hemangioblastoma Not Associated with von Hippel-Lindau Syndrome: A Case Report and Literature Review
Hemangioblastomas are low-grade, highly vascular tumors that are usually associated with von Hippel-Lindau syndrome. Hemangioblastomas most commonly occur in the cerebellum, and intradural extramedullary hemangioblastoma of the cauda equina is very rare, especially in patients without von Hippel-...

Summary: | Hemangioblastomas are low-grade, highly vascular tumors that are usually associated with
von Hippel-Lindau syndrome. Hemangioblastomas most commonly occur in the cerebellum,
and intradural extramedullary hemangioblastoma of the cauda equina is very rare, especially
in patients without von Hippel-Lindau syndrome. Herein, we report a case of intradural extramedullary
hemangioblastoma of the cauda equina that was not associated with von Hippel-
Lindau syndrome, with a focus on its imaging characteristics and differential diagnoses. We
compared the clinical presentation and imaging features of our case with those of previously
reported cases in the review of the literature. |
