Popis: Hemangioblastomas involving cervical nerve roots are extremely rare. Only one case has been previously reported in the literature. We report the case of a 33-year-old man presenting with a 6-month history of upper limb pain. MRI and cervical angiography demonstrated the presence of a dumbell (intra and extradural) and highly vascularized tumor of the right C7-T1 foramina. Histological examination eventually confirmed the diagnosis of hemangioblastoma. Total removal of such a lesion may require combined (anterior and posterior) approaches and preoperative embolization.
