Visual disturbances in von Hippel-Lindau disease.
A 23-year-old woman with von Hippel-Lindau disease had headaches, visual disturbances, and an enlarged sella. Cerebral angiography demonstrated multiple posterior fossa hemangiomas and obstructive hydrocephalus. Massive dilation of the third ventricle compressed the chiasm, resulting in an unusual cause of visual disturbance.
