Abstract

A 72-year-old man presented with a cerebellar vermian tumor manifesting as headaches and vertigo. Angiography disclosed a vascular tumor fed by the superior cerebellar artery and an aneurysm of a primitive trigeminal artery. The patient underwent right occipital craniotomy to remove the highly vascular tumor via an occipital transtentorial approach. Association of a cerebral aneurysm with a hemangioblastoma has been reported previously in only five cases. Only three aneurysms were located on the feeding artery. The aneurysm in this case was not on the feeding artery. Simple coincidence might account for this case.
