Hemangioblastoma (HB) is a rare tumor, comprising about 2% of all intracranial tumors. Although it is a benign tumor, due to the abundant blood supply and its close relationship with adjacent cerebral blood vessels, surgical resection is difficult and may cause complications such as bleeding. If HB can be correctly diagnosed before surgery, complications can be avoided by methods such as vascular embolism before surgery.
