HBs involving pediatric patients are common, but VHL-associated HBs and those that cause obstructive hydrocephalus are rare.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Case Description:<\/jats:title>\n \n In this case study, a pediatric patient presented with multiple neurological deficits including headaches, ataxia, confusion, and right-sided weakness, as well as a magnetic resonance image revealing a lesion involving the 4\n th<\/jats:sup>\n ventricle causing obstructive hydrocephalus. An external ventricular drain was placed to treat the hydrocephalus acutely, followed by a tumor resection, resulting in some postsurgical bleeding and increased fluid accumulation. Further genetic testing revealed that the patient was positive for a VHL mutation.\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n \n There are only a few reports of intraventricular HBs that are found in the 4\n th<\/jats:sup>\n ventricle in pediatric patients with less discussing solid HBs, so evaluation of this case can provide a valuable opportunity to compare and reflect on the nature of this rare presentation and contribute toward understanding the best approaches for treating these rare conditions.\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.25259\/sni_45_2026","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,5,22]],"date-time":"2026-05-22T06:29:55Z","timestamp":1779431395000},"page":"301","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.25259\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Surgical resection of a solid posterior cranial fossa hemangioblastoma causing obstructive hydrocephalus in a pediatric patient"],"prefix":"10.25259","volume":"17","author":[{"given":"Marcos Daniel","family":"Arciniega","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pediatrics, Division of Neurosurgery for School of Medicine, Texas Tech Health Sciences Center, Lubbock, United States"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Lars","family":"Northcut","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pediatrics, Division of Neurosurgery for School of Medicine, Texas Tech Health Sciences Center, Lubbock, United States"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Tyler","family":"Kohls","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Graduate Medical Education Sciences, Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center, Lubbock, United States"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Laszlo","family":"Nagy","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pediatrics, Division of Neurosurgery for School of Medicine, Texas Tech Health Sciences Center, Lubbock, United States"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"10894","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,5,22]]},"reference":[{"key":"10.25259\/SNI_45_2026\/ref-1","first-page":"1","article-title":"Hemangioblastoma of the fourth ventricle mimicking a posterior fossa medulloblastoma in a child","volume":"6","author":"Baayoud","year":"2024","journal-title":"Eur J Med Health Sci"},{"key":"10.25259\/SNI_45_2026\/ref-2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1603","DOI":"10.1007\/s00701-017-3275-0","article-title":"Pediatric central nervous system hemangioblastomas: Different from adult forms?
