Investigation of a family with von Hippel-Lindau syndrome.
A family with Von Hippel-Lindau syndrome has been investigated with Ultrasound, CT and MRI. The major lesions found were posterior fossa haemangioblastomas, retinal haemangioblastomas and renal cell carcinoma. Screening of family members has been undertaken due to the known autosomal dominant inheritance of this condition.
