Abstract
We present the MRI findings in a case of a 24-year-old woman with spinal he mangioblastoma, causing neural foraminal widening by producing a dumbbell m ass in the lower cervical region. Hemangioblastomas can very rarely present as an intradural extramedullary lesions and this case is another exception al pathology which should be considered among the differential diagnosis of enlarged intervertebral foramen due to neoplastic processes.
