Hemangiopericitoma de la fosa posterior: a propósito de un caso

The treatment of choice of intracranial hemangiopericytoma is gross total resection, which must be attempted when technically feasible, followed by adjuvant radiotherapy providing total doses over 50 Gy. This combination has demonstrated increasing recurrence-free interval in these patients. Close and longterm follow-up is mandatory in order to achieve early diagnosis of recurrence or metastases in these patients, since they can appear several years, even decades, after initial proper treatment.
