3Çukurova University Medical Faculty Department of Pathology, Adana Haemangioblastomas are true vascular neoplasms which progress inexorably to a atastrophic clinical situation if left untreated. They are mostly intramedullary tumours rarely seen in the extramedullary space. An unusual case with a solitary spinal cord haemangioblastoma located purely in the intradural extramedullary space is presented. MR imaging accurately localized the mass and showed the precise delineation of the tumour after Gd-DTPA. Keywords : Haemangioblastoma, Magnetic Resonance
