Nine patients with haemangioblastoma of the posterior cerebral fossa w
ere explored by computerized tomography (CT), then by magnetic resonan
ce imaging (MRI) with enhancement by gadolinium in 4 cases. Following
a review of clinical and laboratory data, the radiological images are
detailed and distributed into three forms: cystic with mural nodule, s
olid, and annular. The usefulness of the different imaging techniques
is specified, and the stress it put on the need to look for multiple s
ites in the entire central nervous system.
