Introduction
Hemangioblastoma is a vascular neoplasm of the central nervous system.
Whereas hemangioblastoma is the most common primary neoplasm in the adult
cerebellum, it is a relatively rare tumor of the spine, representing 1.6-5.8%
of all spinal tumors [1].
Hemangioblastoma may occur sporadically or as a component of von Hippel-Lindau
syndrome. Pathologically, hemangioblastoma may be difficult to differentiate
from astrocytoma. Hemangioblastoma may also resemble metastatic renal cell
carcinoma, a lesion that is common in patients with von Hippel-Lindau syndrome
[2]. Radiologic findings are
helpful in diagnosing hemangioblastoma. Preoperative Recognition of
hemangioblastoma may limit the extent of surgery and may alter patient
treatment by indicating von Hippel-Lindau syndrome
[3]. A number of distinct
appearances of spinal hemangioblastoma have been described, including
hemangioblastoma with associated cyst or syrinx
[4], hemangioblastoma with
diffuse spinal cord enlargement
[5], exophytic hemangioblastoma
with minimal spinal cord reaction
[6], and extramedullary
hemangioblastoma [7]. This
pictorial essay presents the characteristic MR imaging findings that may
assist in the preoperative recognition of spinal hemangioblastoma.
Clinical Background
Von Hippel-Lindau syndrome is an autosomal dominant disorder with near
complete penetration and variable expression. The prevalence of von
Hippel-Lindau syndrome ranges from 1:40,000 to 1:50,000
[8]. Von Hippel-Lindau syndrome
manifests as central nervous system hemangioblastomas, renal cysts, and renal
cell carcinomas. Other lesions include retinal angiomas, pheochromocytomas,
pancreatic cysts, and epididymal cystadenomas
[9]. Thirty-two percent of
patients with spinal hemangioblastoma have von Hippel-Lindau syndrome; the
remaining patients have sporadically occurring tumors
[1]. Patients with spinal
hemangioblastoma have a mean age of 30 years at onset, though patients with
von Hippel-Lindau syndrome may present earlier
[1]. Symptoms of spinal
hemangioblastoma are similar to those of other spinal canal tumors and include
sensory change, motor disturbance, and pain
[1]. Because the presentation
of spinal hemangioblastoma is similar to that of other spinal canal masses,
imaging studies can be useful in suggesting a diagnosis.
MR Imaging Characteristics
When compared with the spinal cord, spinal hemangioblastoma is usually
hypointense to isointense on T1-weighted sequences and isointense to
hyperintense on T2-weighted sequences (Fig.
1A,
1B,
1C). T1-weighted images after
gadolinium administration show intense enhancement. Large lesions may be
visualized without contrast material, but small lesions are often isointense
and thus difficult to differentiate from the spinal cord (Figs.
2A,
2B,
2C and
3A,
3B,
3C,
3D). Therefore,
gadolinium-enhanced T1-weighted images are essential for the evaluation of
lesions suggestive of hemangioblastoma.

Multiple hemangioblastomas have been described only in patients with von
Hippel-Lindau syndrome [1].
Small hemangioblastomas may be observed in patients with no spinal symptoms or
in relatives of patients with von Hippel-Lindau syndrome. Patients with von
Hippel-Lindau syndrome and spinal symptoms usually have one dominant lesion
that causes symptoms, though other asymptomatic tumors may also be present
(Fig. 4A,
4B,
4C,
4D). Because the presence of
additional hemangioblastomas may alter the therapeutic treatment of the
patient and the patient's family, patients with suspected hemangioblastoma
should undergo contrast-enhanced MR imaging of the entire central nervous
system to exclude multiple lesions
[3].

Hemangioblastoma is a highly vascular tumor. MR images of large
hemangioblastomas may show flow voids resulting from prominent vessels (Figs.
3A,
3B,
3C,
3D and
5A,
5B,
5C). Rarely, spinal
hemangioblastoma may hemorrhage in either the cord parenchyma or the
subarachnoid space [10].

The majority of spinal hemangioblastomas originate in the thoracic region,
with cervical lesions also common
[1]. Lumbar and sacral
hemangioblastomas are less frequent (Fig.
5A,
5B,
5C). Hemangioblastomas may
originate from any compartment of the spinal canal or within a vertebral body
[11]. The spinal cord reacts
to hemangioblastoma in a number of different ways; reaction depends on the
size and location of the mass. Sixty-six percent of spinal hemangioblastomas
originate at or near the surface of the spinal cord (either intramedullary
with extension beyond the surface of the spinal cord or exophytic with the
center of the lesion external to the spinal cord). Twenty-five percent of
spinal hemangioblastomas are completely intramedullary and 8% are intradural
extramedullary neoplasms (Baker KB et al., presented at the American Society
of Neuroradiology meeting, June 1997). Fifty-five percent of spinal
hemangioblastomas have an associated cyst or syrinx. Twenty-three percent of
patients have a swollen section of spinal cord distinct from the tumor nodule
and not related to syrinx. Twenty-three percent of patients have no other
spinal cord abnormality (Baker KB et al., ASNR meeting, June 1997).
Descriptions of the different appearances of hemangioblastoma follow.
Exophytic Hemangioblastoma
A hemangioblastoma that originates at the cord surface may incite little or
no reaction in the adjacent spinal cord. The tumor may grow outward in an
exophytic manner (Fig. 6A,
6B,
6C). When the tumor is large,
the appearance may mimic nerve sheath tumors, meningioma, or ependymoma.

Hemangioblastoma with Syrinx
Hemangioblastoma is known to cause syringomyelia, a condition seen in 40%
of patients [1]. The syrinx may
be small and cystlike or may extend the length of the cord (Figs.
3A,
3B,
3C,
3D,
4A,
4B,
4C,
4D, and
7A,
7B,
7C,
7D). Syrinx is not specific
for hemangioblastoma and is associated with other spinal tumors such as
astrocytoma and ependymoma. Because a small hemangioblastoma can cause a large
syrinx, contrast-enhanced MR imaging is a valuable tool for the diagnosis of
syrinx detected on unenhanced images.

|
|
Hemangioblastoma with Associated Spinal Cord Enlargement
A unique characteristic of hemangioblastoma is spinal cord enlargement
beyond the margins of the enhancing tumor and distinct from syrinx
[5] (Figs.
2A,
2B,
2C and
8A,
8B,
8C). Spinal cord swelling may
be caused by arteriovenous shunting, venous congestion, or an edema-promoting
factor produced by the tumor
[5]. When spinal cord
enlargement caused by hemangioblastoma is noted, surgical treatment should be
directed at the enhancing nodule. Spinal cord swelling will usually improve
after the tumor is removed
[5].

|
Extramedullary Hemangioblastoma
Extramedullary hemangioblastoma is rare but may occur in the lumbar or
sacral spinal canal; it may be associated with exiting nerve roots (Figs.
5A,
5B,
5C and
9). In this location the
appearance is similar to that of meningioma or schwannoma. The key to
preoperative diagnosis is the recognition of marked enhancement and associated
enlarged vessels (Fig. 5A,
5B,
5C). A case report described a
hemangioblastoma originating in a vertebral body
[7].

T1-weighted axial MR image (TR/TE, 500/20) shows hemangioblastoma in right
neural foramen (arrows). Oblique linear low signal intensity within
tumor probably represents nerve roots.
|
|
Intramedullary Hemangioblastoma with No Spinal Cord Reaction
A small intramedullary hemangioblastoma may not elicit significant cord
enlargement or syrinx (Fig.
7C).
Conclusion
Spinal hemangioblastoma has a number of appearances. Specific appearances
may help differentiate hemangioblastoma from other spinal tumors or vascular
malformations. Hemangioblastoma usually shows uniform contrast enhancement.
Spinal astrocytoma usually shows inhomogeneous enhancement with occasional
central cavitation or hemorrhage
[12]. Spinal ependymoma
usually shows uniform intense enhancement with well-defined margins and
occasional central cavitation
[4]. Spinal astrocytoma or
ependymoma may have associated syrinx, but an extensive syrinx suggests
hemangioblastoma [4]. Neither
spinal astrocytoma nor ependymoma is likely to have prominent vessels
[12]. Spinal cord thickening
remote from the tumor and without syrinx may be specific for hemangioblastoma
[5]. A spinal arteriovenous
fistula may show prominent vessels, cord thickening, and diffuse patchy
enhancement caused by venous engorgement or infarction
[12]; however, spinal
arteriovenous fistulas rarely show a well-defined enhancing mass lesion and
are typically heterogeneous on unenhanced MR images
[4]. Multiple hemangioblastomas
indicate von Hippel-Lindau syndrome
[1].
