Supratentorial dural-based hemangioblastoma not associated with von Hippel Lindau complex.
Hemangioblastomas are rarely found in a supratentorial location and are commonly associated with the von Hippel-Lindau complex. Therefore, patients with such tumors must be evaluated for both other hemangioblastomas within the central nervous system as well as for this complex via physical examination, radiographic examination, and genetic testing. We report the seventh case of a patient with an isolated supratentorial dural based hemangioblastoma not associated with the von Hippel-Lindau complex.
