Abstract EN
A choroid plexus cyst may be present throughout the ventricular system of the brain.
A hemangioblastoma is generally found in patients with genetic diseases like Von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) syndrome disease, but it can also be found sporadically in the spinal cord, retina and in rare cases in the cerebrum.
An eighteen-year-old male subject was referred for autopsy in Kolkata police morgue on 27/02/2017.
Two hours before, the patient had been brought to the hospital for severe headache; but before any diagnosis could be made, he collapsed and died.
On autopsy, a 4cm fluid filled cyst was found in the anterior portion of third ventricle and sent for histopathological examination.
HPE findings were consistent with a hemangioblastoma, which made this case extremely rare.
Sudden death due to increased intracranial tension cases should be properly examined for any neuroepithelial tumours like a hemangioblastoma.
