First reported case of simultaneous occurrence of hemangiopericytomas(HCP) at multiple
sites of craniospinal axis in a thirty four year male is presented. Patient presented
with neck pain for 1 year, and one episode of simple partial seizure involving his
left lower limb. He was diagnosed as having HCP in right middle one third parasagittal
region, and C4,5 vertebral bodies. Another lesion was present in L5 vertebra, which
was radiologically similar to the cervical lesion, but not biopsy proven. High index
of suspicion, and low threshold for screening, for coexistence of spinal HCP, in patients
harboring cranial HCP's and complaints of back pain.
Key-words:
Craniospinal hemangiopericytomas - multiple hemangiopericytomas - simultaneous multifocal
hemangiopericytomas
