    Abstract:
    It is well known that von Hippel-Lindau disease is defined as the association of retinal angiomatosis and cerebellar hemangioblastomas. This disease is frequently associated with extra-neural vascular neoplasma, especially visceral angiomatous tumors. In this paper we report the familial occurrence of von Hippel-Lindau disease in a 55-year-old mother and her 24-year-old son. The mother had simultaneous multiple angiomas of the liver, stomach and head of the pancreas. The initial symptom was sudden onset of vertigo, possibly caused by a slow-growing cystic cerebellar lesion. An apparent genetic factor indicates that clinical settings begin in the early life of the patients.
