Surgical resection of medulla oblongata hemangioblastomas: outcome and complications

Abstract: Surgery of medulla oblongata hemangioblastomas is a challenging procedure characterized by an acceptable morbidity. Transient morbidity is not negligible even if the long-term outcome is in most cases favorable. A compromised neurological condition seems to be the best predictor of unfavorable outcome.

“…Similarly, pertinent surgical details are not presented. Utilization of preoperative embolization [ 21 , 22 ], tumor consistency [ 1 , 9 , 16 , 23 ], preoperative status [ 10 ], and postoperative morbidity [ 3 , 24 , 25 ] have been associated with poor outcomes in HBs. Moreover, data regarding disease progression are lacking.…”

“…Forty-one percent of the hemangioblastomas were associated with cyst formation. The size of the tumors or cysts was reported in 7 studies [4,10,13,15,17,36,37], and the mean diameter was 21.3 mm (range 2-56 mm). In total, 39.6% of the tumors were related to VHL disease [10, 13, 15, 17, 22, 33-35, 37, 40].…”

“…The most common region involved was the medulla oblongata (55.0%). According to the relationship between the tumor and surrounding parenchyma, 15.1% of brainstem hemangioblastomas were entirely intrabrainstem or intramedullary [4,10,13,15,17,34]. Details of the study characteristics are shown in Table 2.…”
