Sporadic solid hemangioblastoma of the cerebellar vermis: A case report

Hemangioblastomas are rare, benign tumors of the central nervous system, most commonly affecting the cerebellum, brainstem, and spinal cord. They are often associated with von Hippel-Lindau disease but can also occur sporadically.

This case report presents a 60-year-old male with a sporadic solid hemangioblastoma of the cerebellar vermis, detailing his clinical presentation, radiological findings, surgical management, and postoperative outcome.

Although rare, these tumors should be considered in the differential diagnosis of posterior fossa masses in adults. Gross total excision is curative with a good prognosis.
