Summary

The authors present a case report of a cerebellar hemangioblastoma supplied, in part, by an enlarged tentorial artery of Bernasconi and Cassinari. The vertebral arteries also provided a portion of the blood supply to this tumor. The angiographic findings are illustrated. A brief summary of the causes of tentorial artery enlargement is presented.

Résumé

Les auteurs rapportent un cas d'hémangioblastome cérébelleux, alimenté en partie par l'artère tentorielle dilatée de Bernasconi et Cassinari. Les artères vertébrales participaient également à l'irrigation sanguine de cette tumeur. Les auteurs illustrent ces constatations angiographiques. Ils résument brièvement les causes de dilatation de l'artère tentorielle.

Zusammenfassung

Fall-Schilderung eines Kleinhirn-Hämangioblastoms, dessen Blutversorgung hauptsächlich durch eine Tentorium-Arterie erfolgte.
