Objective To report the clinical features,microsurgical techniques and outcomes of 5 patients admitted in our hospital,who had solid hemangioblastoma in medulla oblongata in the last 5 years.Methods 5 consecutive cases of solid hemangioblastoma in medulla oblongata operated from March,2011 to May,2016 were reviewed and fl lowed up.Results All patients suffered headache,dizziness and cerico-occipital pain from the beginning plus one was found because of obstructive hydrocephalus.The mean duration before operation was 6.7 months.The mean maximum diameter of tumor was (33.7±3.4)mm.The suboccipital posterior midline approach was performed and gross total resection was achieved in all 5 cases.After operation,endotracheal tube was removed in all 5 patients,but 3 received tracheotomy,and all patients can take food freely now through rehabilitation exercise.Followed up until September 2016,all patients lived a normal life.Conclusion The operation of solid hemangioblastoma in medulla oblongata is full of huge risk,but microsurgical resection is the only cure means for the tumor.
