Parasagittal leptomeningeal hemangioblastoma--case report.
A 50-year-old male patient presented with a rare dural supratentorial hemangioblastoma manifesting as severe headache persisting for 2 months. Neuroimaging revealed a tumoral mass localized in the right parietal lobe near the sagittal sinus. The tumor was totally excised successfully. The postoperative histological diagnosis was hemangioblastoma. Such supratentorial hemangioblastomas can easily be removed because of the arachnoid cleavage plane.
