Abstract

Conus medullaris hemangioblastoma is very rare. We report a hemangioblastoma which was removed after embolization in conus medullaris. It was associated with syringomyelia from cervical cord to conus medullaris. There was no manifestation of von Hippel-Lindau disease. The literature on conus medullaris hemangioblastoma is reviewed and the mechanism of the syringomyelia associated with the hemangioblastoma is discussed.
