 PAGE \* MERGEFORMAT 8 MRI in cerebellar hemangioblastoma diagnosis of [Abstract] Objective To investigate cerebellar hemangioblastoma of the MRI diagnosis in order to improve the diagnosis and clinical treatment. Methods 15 patients with pathologically proved cerebellar hemangioblastoma of the MRI. Results in 15 patients the lesion in the left lateral cerebellar hemisphere in 3 cases, 5 cases of the right cerebellar hemisphere, cerebellar vermis in 6 cases, multiple lesions in 1 case, in the bilateral cerebellar hemisphere. images showed a large cyst of small nodules in 10 cases, 4 cases of real, simple cystic type 1 case. solid type of tumor and brain parenchyma with mural nodules of equal or lower than the signal T1WI, T2WI signal of equal or slightly higher, slightly higher than the cerebrospinal fluid of cystic part of the signal T1WI, T2WI as a homogeneous high signal. enhanced solid mass and the mural nodules with marked enhancement, no enhancement of cystic part. Conclusions of cerebellar hemangioblastoma with characteristic MRI features. MRI of their location, nature has high diagnostic value. [Keywords:] cerebellum, hemangioblastoma, magnetic resonance imaging Hemangioblastoma known ANGIORETICULOMA, is a rare tumor, accounting for 1.5% of intracranial tumors, occurred in the infratentorial cerebellar hemispheres. In our hospital during the period 2004 to 2008 with pathologically proved cerebellar hemangioblastoma 15 cases are combined with clinical data and relevant literature were reviewed to investigate the performance of MRI to improve the diagnosis, differential diagnosis. 1 Materials and Methods 1.1 General Information The group of 15 patients, 9 males and 6 females, aged from 15 to 68 years, with an average of 29 years. Clinical manifestations were headache, dizziness, gradually increased and accompanied by nausea and vomiting, and pain to the occipital part have blurred vision, unsteady gait, etc., history of more than 2 weeks
