Intramedullary spinal cord tumour (hemangioblastoma)

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...
