Computed tomography in von Hippel-Lindau disease.
Computed tomography of thirteen individuals from two families affected by von Hippel-Lindau disease yielded a total of 9 abnormal findings in 4 patients in the abdomen, and one in the head. For the diagnosis and follow-up, both of affected patients and asymptomatic family members, the high precision and noninvasive nature makes CT the method of choice in this disease.
