title: Endoscopic cure of cerebellar hemangioblastoma.
abstract: This is the first report of a purely endoscopic cure of the cerebellar cystic hemangioblastoma in a 28-year-old with an unfavourable location of the vascular node in the proximity of brainstem structures. A complete excision of the lesion was achieved by means of endoscopy without any violation of the subarachnoidal space, so that a complete cyst regression was observed on CT follow-up investigations. (Fig. 5, Ref. 8.)
