At the initial presentation, MRI revealed a mass at the cervicomedullary junction measuring 2 × 2.5 × 2.3 cm (A and B). After subtotal surgical resection (C and D), the size of the hemangioblastoma decreased to 1.6 × 0.6 × 1.1 cm. With 10 months of surveillance, the hemangioblastoma increased to 1.6 × 1.0 × 1.4 cm (E and F). There was an enlargement of the hemangioblastoma 1-month (mo) post-stereotactic radiosurgery, measuring 1.9 × 1.5 × 1.8 cm, with associated edema and hydrocephalus (G and H). Ongoing surveillance revealed a further increase of the hemangioblastoma (2.0 × 1.8 × 2.0 cm) and increased surrounding edema (I and J). After bevacizumab therapy, there was a decrease in the size of the hemangioblastoma, measuring 1.4 × 1.5 × 1.7 cm (K and L) and reduction of surrounding edema. Over 1 year of clinical surveillance, the hemangioblastoma has remained stable in size, measuring 1.4 × 1.6 × 1.7 cm (M and N).
