The analysis of correlative factors affecting long-term outcomes in patients with Solid Cerebellar Hemangioblastomas

Hemangioblastomas (HBs) are benign tumors classified as Grade I based on the World Health Organization (WHO) Classification of Tumors of the Central Nervous System [1,2]. They are highly vascularized and often occur in the posterior fossa and especially in the cerebellar hemispheres, accounting for 1 –2.5% of all intracranial tumors in the posterior fossa [3]. Most hemangioblastomas are sporadic, but 20–30% of cases are hereditarily closely related to von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) disease [4].
