    Author: Fomekong E, Hernalsteen D, Godfraind C, D'Haens J, Raftopoulos C.

    Abstract:
    Supratentorial hemangioblastomas (HBL) have been rarely described in the literature. Herein we report the fourth case of pituitary stalk HBL diagnosed concurrently with cerebellar HBLs in a 51-year-old woman with von Hippel-Lindau disease. Complete resection of the lesion was achieved using left frontopterional craniotomy and no recurrence was observed after 8 years of follow-up. The clinical presentation, radiological features, pathological findings, and the management of this particular case are discussed in the light of the available literature. To our knowledge, this case is the only pituitary stalk HBL with total resection, and a long follow-up fully documented.
