Aggressive leptomeningeal hemangioblastomatosis of the central nervous system in a patient with von Hippel-Lindau disease.

ABSTRACT: Hemangioblastomas of the central nervous system are the most common tumors seen in patients with von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) disease. A very rare case of diffuse leptomeningeal hemangioblastomatosis obliterating large areas of the subarachnoid space, both intracranial and within the spinal canal, which developed during a relatively short period, in a patient with VHL disease is presented.
