Von Hippel-Lindau Disease with multiple manifestations: diagnosis and management.
The association of a recurrent cerebellar hemangioblastoma, retinal angioma, pheochromocytoma, renal carcinoma, and multiple renal and pancreatic cysts in one patient is reported, and the pertinent diagnostic studies are discussed briefly. Awareness of the possibility of late manifestations of various components of this syndrome in patients treated successfully for cerebellar hemangioblastoma will lead to their early identification and successful surgical treatment. Genetic counseling for patients affected by this syndrome and their families is recommended.
