Introduccion : los hemangioblastomas son tumores benignos localizados con mayor frecuencia en el cerebelo, que afectan predominantemente a los adultos jovenes. Estas lesiones son reconocidas por su abundante vascularizacion, lo cual dificulta su reseccion. Caso clinico: se expone la experiencia en el tratamiento endovascular de una paciente con un hemangioblastoma cerebeloso, destacando las consideraciones tecnicas y los materiales necesarios para lograr una embolizacion exitosa. Conclusion : la embolizacion endovascular de los vasos tumorales facilita su reseccion quirurgica, debido a que disminuye el sangrado intraoperatorio y las probabilidades de lesiones neurovasculares, aunque su perfil de seguridad ha sido cuestionado debido al riesgo de desencadenar hemorragias intratumorales.

These injuries are recognized by its abundant vascularization which makes difficult its resection. Clinical case: The experience in the endovascular treatment of a patient with a cerebellar hemangioblastoma is exposed, emphasizing in the technical considerations and necessary materials to achieve a successful embolization. Conclusion: Endovascular embolization of tumour vessels facilitates its surgical resection due to it decreases the intraoperative hemorrhage and the possibilities of neurovascular injuries, although its security profile has been questioned due to the risk of unleashing intratumoral hemorrhage.
