Case report: solitary haemangioblastoma of the fourth ventricle in an adolescent male.
We report a solitary haemangioblastoma arising from a pedicle in the wall of the fourth ventricle of the brain, which we believe to be the first report of haemangioblastoma occurring in this location. Computed tomography (CT), angiography and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) made possible accurate pre-operative tumour identification and localization which facilitated a minimally invasive surgical resection.
