“…The most frequent symptoms of patients with suprasellar hemangioblastomas are visual and hormonal disturbances (2)(3)(4)(5)(6)(7)(8)(9). MRI is the diagnostic study of choice (8), although angiographic study is also useful in revealing a highly vascularized lesion with a persistent blush (2).…”

Von Hippel-Lindau disease (VHLD) is characterized by a spectrum of benign and malignant tumors in the CNS and visceral organs. Rathke's cleft cysts are benign, nonneoplastic sellar lesions that are often asymptomatic. The authors report the case of twin sisters with VHLD Type 2C with radiographically similar sellar lesions. One twin required surgery for progressive visual loss. Pathological examination of resected tissue demonstrated Rathke's cleft cyst.

Hemangioblastoma in the suprasellar region is rare. We present a case of a suprasellar hemangioblastoma that underwent surgical resection using an extended endoscopic transsphenoidal approach. A 64-year-old female patient presented with headache and decreased visual acuity for the last four years, computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed a 2.5 cm irregular lesion in the suprasellar region. Our preoperative presumptive diagnosis was craniopharyngioma. The patient underwent an extended endoscopic transsphenoidal approach, the mass was subtotally removed. An endoscopic endonasal repair was needed due to the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leak. However, 1 month later, the patient got disturbance of consciousness because of the hydrocephalus. Ventriculoperitoneal shunt was used to solve the problem. Pathological findings were compatible with hemangioblastoma. Suprasellar hemangioblastoma is very rare. Any highly vascular lesions located in the suprasellar region should alert the surgeon to the possibility of hemangioblastoma. Extended endoscopic transsphenoidal approach adopted by us should not be the first choice of the treatment procedure for this kind of large and vascular tumor.
