Abstract: |
| |
Von Hippel-Lindau disease is an inherited autosomal dominant disorder that occurs equally in the sexes. In this extremely rare disease the common abnormalities that occur are retinal hemangioblastoma (50%), cerebellar or spinal hemangioblastoma (50%), renal carcinoma (30%) and pheochromocytoma (10%). Magnetic resonance imaging is a very sensitive diagnostic modality for detection of CNS abnormalities. This report indicates that proton density sequence presented the highest sensitivity for detection of both ocular involvement and tumor hypervascularity. |
