Abstract
- The following is a report of a case of intramedullary hemangioblastoma with diffuse cord enlargement. A 34 years-old man was admitted complaining of posterior neck pain developed ten months before. Spinal magnetic resonance image then revealed diffuse cord enlargement from the cervical to upper thoracic level, together with well enhancing intramedullary mass at the C7-T1 level. C6-T1 total laminetomy was performed and the enhancing mass was removed. Postoperative magnetic resonance image done on the 15 th day, revealed that the cord enlargement had disappeared and the signal intensity of the enlarged portion subsequently changed from high to low. The possible pathophysiology of this observation is discussed.
