title: A case report of the management of multiple metachronous haemangioblastomas in a patient with von Hippel - Lindau disease.
abstract: Cerebellar haemangioblastomas commonly arise in patients with von Hippel - Lindau disease. We present the case of a 47-year-old male who has successfully undergone 10 separate procedures for symptomatic cerebellar haemangioblastomas. To our knowledge, this case is unique with respect to the frequency of symptomatic recurrences.
