Abstract

Hemangioblastomas of the cerebellopontine angle (CPA) that emerge extra-axially from the peripheral nervous system are extremely rare. We report a case of hemangioblastoma of the CPA evaluated by pseudocontinuous arterial spin labeling (pCASL). The high rate of tumor blood flow determined using pCASL provided additional useful information for the differential diagnosis of the CPA tumors in this patient.
