Description

Haemangioblastomas are rare polymorphic tumours with a predisposition for the posterior cranial fossa, which explains the limitations of the CT diagnosis and the advantages of magnetic resonance imaging. MRI must always be interpreted cautiously, particularly because of the phenomena related to oedema. The use of paramagnetic contrast media is essential in combination with a complete arteriographic assessment

Abstract (French)

Les hemangioblastomes sont des tumeurs rares polymorphes, dont la localisation preferentielle est la fosse posterieure, ce qui rend compte de l'imperfection du diagnostic tomodensitometrique et de l'interet de l'examen d'Imagerie par Resonance Magnetique. L'interpretation de celui-ci doit toutefois etre prudente, en particulier compte tenu des phenomenes lies a l'oedeme et l'utilisation des agents de contraste paramagnetiques semble indispensable, ainsi que la pratique d'un bilan arteriographique complet
