Von Hippel-Lindau disease is a rare dominant autosomal genetic disease determined by the inactivity of an onco-suppressor gene identified in 1993 and located on the short arm of chromosome 3 [1]. This gene has a role of crucial importance in the regulation of the vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF); therefore, its inactivation promotes an overexpression of the VEGF and the angiogenesis of...

introduction: sexual dimorphisms in biological structures such as brain and behaviour have been widely recognized in animals and humans. the purpose of this study was to examine whether there are sex differences in the size of the cerebellum with other body traits, such as the head, tail and brain. methods: twelve grasscutters comprising of 6 males and 6 females were used in this study. each br...

In addition to specific cerebellar signs and symptoms, other common symptoms of a cerebral stroke include dizziness, headache, nausea, vomiting, double vision, tremor, and vertigo. These symptoms can be confused with other situa...

We present the case of a 20-year-old male with intermittent right upper extremity numbness for 3 months. His pain perception and temperature sensation were severely disturbed. An incidental magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) finding of one small intramedullary enhancing nodule at spinal cord level T10-11 with long-segment syrinx formation suggested the diagnosis of spinal hemangioblastoma with sy...
