ABSTRACT

Introduction: Spinal hemangioblastomas are benign neoplasms of infrequent incidence. They are generally asymptomatic and their clinical progression depends on their size and expansion, which increases morbidity. Clinical case: The case described below, 83-year-old female patient, is relevant due to its clinical and radiological presentation, its low frequency in the adult population, as well as its importance due to the associated comorbidities. Conclusions: Spinal hemangioblastoma represents a smaller percentage of spinal neoplasms, its diagnosis is incidental and the clinical picture is determined by its location.
