Congenital supratentorial hemangioblastoma as an unusual cause of simultaneous supra- and infratentorial intracranial hemorrhage: case report.
Congenital supratentorial hemangioblastomas are extremely rare tumors even in pediatric population. A 57-day-old female neonate presented with a pure motor seizure. On imaging studies, intracranial hemorrhagic lesions containing multiple cystic components in the cerebral and cerebellar areas were revealed, simultaneously. After the emergency surgical evacuation only to a fatal supratentorial lesion, an infratentorial lesion also regressed spontaneously. The authors report a case of full-term neonate presenting with supra- and infratentorial hemorrhagic lesions, which occurred as a result of congenital supratentorial hemangioblastoma bleeding.
