Its growth behavior may be difficult to predict, and pregnancy has been discussed as a possible growth-promoting factor.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>OBSERVATIONS<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The authors report the case of a rare suprasellar apparently sporadic hemangioblastoma diagnosed during pregnancy. Following the progressive worsening of symptoms, the baby was delivered by cesarean section. The patient was treated with stereotactic radiotherapy, resulting in a marked improvement in symptoms and impressive reduction in tumor size.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>LESSONS<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>High vascularity and solid growth with a tendency for surgical complications appear to be typical of suprasellar hemangioblastoma, as indicated by this and several other reported cases. The importance of nonsurgical treatment strategies, including radiation therapy, is emphasized by this case. Pregnancy is one of the factors that has been investigated as potentially growth promoting. The authors speculate that postpartum hormonal changes may have contributed to tumor shrinkage in their case.<\/jats:p>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      <jats:ext-link xmlns:xlink=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1999\/xlink\" ext-link-type=\"uri\" xlink:href=\"https:\/\/thejns.org\/doi\/10.3171\/CASE26756\">https:\/\/thejns.org\/doi\/10.3171\/CASE26756<\/jats:ext-link>\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.3171\/case26756","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,10,14]],"date-time":"2026-10-14T00:00:56Z","timestamp":1791936056000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Suprasellar hemangioblastoma during pregnancy: illustrative case"],"prefix":"10.3171","volume":"12","author":[{"given":"Patrick","family":"Toyota","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Neurosurgery, Department of Surgery, University of Saskatchewan, Saskatoon, Saskatchewan;"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Michael","family":"McKenzie","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Radiation Oncology, British Columbia Cancer Agency, Vancouver, British Columbia;"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jason R.","family":"Shewchuk","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Radiology, University of British Columbia, Vancouver, British Columbia;"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ryojo","family":"Akagami","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Neurosurgery, Department of Surgery, University of British Columbia, Vancouver, British Columbia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Peter","family":"Gooderham","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Neurosurgery, Department of Surgery, University of British Columbia, Vancouver, British Columbia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8514-9861","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Stephen","family":"Yip","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, University of British Columbia, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Peter W.","family":"Schutz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, University of British Columbia, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1754","reference":[{"issue":"5","key":"bib1","series-title":"JAMA Neurol","article-title":"Review of the neurological implications of von Hippel\u2013Lindau disease","volume":"75","author":"Dornbos","year":"2018","unstructured":"Dornbos DKim HJButman JALonser RR.Review of the neurological implications of von Hippel\u2013Lindau disease.
