Popis: Hemangioblastomas are rare, benign, and highly vascular tumors of the central nervous system, often associated with von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) syndrome, an autosomal dominant disorder characterized by multiple tumors. We present a case of a 32-year-old male with progressive headaches, visual disturbances, and motor deficits, who was diagnosed with multiple hemangioblastomas in the cervical-thoracic spinal cord and bilateral cerebellum through MRI. Surgical resection and histopathological biopsy confirmed the diagnosis. This case highlights the critical role of MRI in diagnosing and managing VHL-associated hemangioblastomas and underscores the importance of regular imaging for early detection and intervention of new or recurring tumors, optimizing patient outcomes.
