Hemangioblastoma: An Uncommon Cause of Polycythemia in a Child

We report a 13-year-old girl with primarily neurological symptoms identified to be polycythemic during routine evaluation. Clinical examination and neuroimaging subsequently confirmed an intracranial space occupying lesion which was excised. Hemoglobin level normalized after tumor excision. This case report emphasizes the need for thorough systemic evaluation including central nervous system examination in children identified to be polycythemic.
