| Summary: | Hemangioblastomas represent cca. 1 - 2,5% of all the intracranial tumours and only 2 -3% at the level of the spinal cord. The symptomatology, usually insidious, is directly proportional with the size of the tumour. The native magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan and the use of a contrast agent is the investigation of choice for diagnosing intramedullary tumours. Authors report the case of a 51 years old man patient admitted in our institution for an intramedullary spinal cord tumor, developed insidious. The lesion was completely removed. Postoperatory outcome was excellent, and the histopathological result was: hemangioblastoma.
