Endoscopic cure of cerebellar hemangioblastoma

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.
