A rare condition: spontaneous subarachnoid hemorrhage due to spinal hemangioblastoma: report of 2 cases and review of the literature.

CONCLUSIONS: In conclusion, spinal HBL is an extremely rare cause of SAH. The systematic review found putative risk factors: female gender, age 40-50 years, cervical location, and median size 2 cm. Diagnosis can be difficult when presentation mimics intracerebral SAH. We advocate early surgical removal. The risk of rapidly fatal course in case of major hemorrhage needs to be borne in mind.
