A case report of surgical management of hemangiopericytoma at the foramen magnum.

CONCLUSION: We successfully and completely removed an HPC near the foramen magnum, employing a wide surgical field and a transcondylar approach to help control bleeding. When the tumor is suspected preoperatively to be a hemangiocytoma or vascular-rich tumor, a surgical approach that can secure a wide surgical field should be selected. PMID: 28791194 [PubMed]
