Von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) syndrome is a rare neoplastic disorder characterized by central nervous system (CNS) and visceral tumors. We here present (68)Ga-labelled [1, 4, 7, 10-tetraazacyclododecane-1, 4, 7, 10-tetraacetic acid]-1-Nal3-Octreotide positron emission tomography computed tomography findings in a 52 year old female with VHL syndrome, demonstrating both CNS and visceral tumors.

The identification of the factors triggering continental environmental changes at Permian–Triassic transition is general interest as they allow a better understanding most controversial mass extinction Phanerozoic. This study investigates response to external forcings on successions south-east-margin Central European Basin System in Germany. Studies from this area are scarce, and its evolution ...

533 V on Hippel-Lindau syndrome (VHL) is an autosomal dominant inherited disorder characterized by the formation of both benign and malignant tumors and cysts in various parts of the body. Identification of individuals and families affected with this disorder is imperative to implement appropriate screening measures so as to detect complications early and to reduce the morbidity and mortality a...

A retrospective study has been carried out on 67 patients with posterior fossa haemangioblastomata. Clinical details are presented, and the problems of diagnosis discussed. A fresh definition of the von Hippel-Lindau complex is put forward. The results of surgery are good for patients with solitary and sporadic tumours.

A family with von Hippel-Lindau disease (VHL) type 2A has been shown to have a T to C missense mutation at nucleotide 547 of the VHL gene. This gives further support for the proposal to associate the 547 T to C mutation with phenotype VHL 2A.

The authors describe a 19 year old male with an isolated but absolute erythrocytosis with iron deficiency without evidence for polycythemia vera as well as another causes of erythrocytosis. The polycythemia was due to a recently described von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) mutation. By stopping iron therapy there was no more requirements for phlebotomy in this patient.

The disease that has perpetuated the names of two prestigious European physicians, Eugen von Hippel and Arvid Lindau, is a familial syndrome characterised by the occurrence of highly vascular tumours in different organs1. Von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) disease is a rare, autosomal dominant genetic disease (Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man 193300) that is estimated to occur in 1/36,000 live births a...
