Abstract
Multiple giant cystic-solid hemangioblastomas (HMGs) located in the cerebellopontine angle (CPA) and bilateral cerebellar hemispheres are extremely rare. This article describes a 54-year-old female patient who was admitted to the hospital with "headache with hearing loss in both ears for 2 months". Physical examination showed that the patient was conscious and Romberg’s sign was positive. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) suggested multiple irregular cystic-solid abnormal signals in the right CPA and bilateral cerebellar hemispheres. A complete resection of the tumor was performed via midline suboccipital approach, and the patient's headache symptoms were relieved significantly after the operation, and the cranial nerve function was well protected. The diagnosis of hemangioblastoma was supported by the results of postoperative immunohistochemical staining.
