    Author: Bilge T, Bilge S, Barut S, Cokneşeli B.
    Journal: Acta Neurol Belg; 1991; 91(4):223-9. PubMed ID: 1746244.
    Abstract:
    Thirty-five members of a family affected with von Hippel-Lindau's disease (VHL) were examined and lesions were found in nine of them. Four of the lesions were located in the central nervous system; two cerebellar, one spinal, one cerebral. Eye lesions were present in eight of the nine patients and complications developed in seven; six unilateral and one bilateral blindness. Both mortality and morbidity were found to be higher than in other series. This is attributed to insufficient screening of the patients with familial VHL, the late diagnosis was established only after the onset of complications. The importance of screening tests in VHL risk patients is emphasized.
