We experienced a case of capillary hemangioblastoma forming the dumbbell shape. This tumor is rare and interesting form of the spinal cord tumors.
A 51 year old male has been suffering from lumbar pain. About 9 months ago he developed so-called SHIBIRE-feeling in his feet and weakness of the extrimities.
X-ray showed the enlargement of the right intervertebral formen of L1-2.
The Th12-L2 laminectomy was performed and the dural canal was opened. The tumor was situated within the vertebral canal and was partially intradural, partially extradural, as if it was constricted by the dura.
Histologically, the tumor was a capillary hemangioblastoma.
