Massive hemorrhage is a very uncommon event among hemangioblastomas. Forty-four cases have been reported before this review. Thorough analysis of all reported cases on literature was accomplished. The majority presented as parenchymatous or subarachnoid bleedings. Subarachnoid hemorrhage was only associated with spinal hemangioblastomas, while parenchymatous bleedings were more, but not only, originated from cranial instances. Ventricular hemorrhage from a hemangioblastoma was exceptional, with only two previous cases bleeding directly into the ventricular compartment. To our knowledge, the illustrative case is the first one of pure tetraventricular hemorrhage from a hemangioblastoma. When hemangioblastoma bleeding occurs, it is usually the very first clinical presentation of a previously undetected tumor. Solid type, large size, and spinal-radicular locations are more frequently related to hemorrhage. Hemorrhage following hemangioblastoma embolization and the association of this tumor with other bleeding lesions, such as arteriovenous malformations and aneurysms, is also discussed.

Purpose: To demonstrate the response of a juxtapapillary retinal hemangioblastoma (JRH) to belzutifan in a patient with Von-Hippel-Lindau syndrome (VHL).
Methods: This case report includes fundus photography and optical coherence tomography to compare a juxtapapillary retinal hemangioblastoma (JRH) before and 24 months after treatment with belzutifan.
Results: An 18-year-old woman with VHL was diagnosed with a juxtapapillary retinal hemangioblastoma (JRH) at age 13.

Article Synopsis
- Hemangioblastoma is a rare type of spinal cord tumor, making up only 1-5% of such cases, particularly notable in this report is the cervical intradural extramedullary hemangioblastoma without Von Hippel-Lindau syndrome, which has never been documented in China before.
- A 53-year-old male presented with symptoms including mild right hemiplegia, and imaging confirmed the tumor at the cervical spine; pre-surgery angiography helped minimize bleeding during the complete resection of the tumor.
- Post-surgery, the patient showed improved motor and sensory functions, and pathology confirmed the tumor type; findings aligned with literature indicating combined surgical approaches are best for managing this rare condition while reducing risks associated with

Article Synopsis
- Von Hippel-Lindau is a rare genetic disorder with an autosomal dominant inheritance pattern, leading to multiple vascular tumors, especially in the brain, eyes, and organs.
- The disease can manifest at any age, with retinal tumors often being one of the first signs; MRI and fluorescein angiography are key diagnostic tools.
- A case study highlights a woman in her late 30s with vision loss, revealing various eye and kidney abnormalities, including cystic lesions in her brain and elevated urine protein levels.

Article Synopsis
- * Spinal cord hemangioblastomas make up a small percentage (1.1% to 2.4%) of central nervous system tumors, typically presenting as single tumors in adults around their 40s, while they are rare in children, especially those without VHL syndrome.
- * The thoracic spinal cord is the most common location for these tumors, which can lead to serious symptoms like spinal cord compression and bleeding, despite being classified as benign.
