Abstract：Objective To investigate the surgical treatment of solid hemangioblastomas in the posterior cranial fossae.Methods The clinical data of 27 patients with solid hemangioblastomas in the posterior fossae, of whom 20 underwent microsurgery only and 7 underwent microsurgery after the embolization of the arteries feeding blood to the tumors in the recent 5 years, were analyzed retrospectively.Results The tumors were totally resected and no patients died from the surgery in all the patients.Three patients with postoperative mild neurological deficit were recovered by the treatment.Conclusions The accurate preoperative evaluation,making the operative plan and embolization of the arteries feeding blood to the tumors with rich blood supply before the surgery are helpful to reducing surgical complications and mortality in the patients with solid hemangioblastomas in the posterior fossae.
