Von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) disease is an autosomal dominant hereditary disorder showing various clinic-al features. We analyzed 6 patients with spinal cord hemangioblastoma associated with VHL disease infour families. All patients had cerebellar hemangioblastomas. Four cases carried retinal hemangioblastomaand 5 cases showed visceral lesions ; renal cell carcinoma (2 cases), renal cyst (2 cases), pancreas cyst (2cases) and paraovarian tumor. In four cases, spinal cord hemangioblastomas were multiple.

Ten symptomatic or rapidly growing lesions in 5 patients were surgically resected. Two of these lesionswere extrameclullary spinal root hemangioblastoma. Operative results were good except for a case of ven-trally placed thoracic spinal intrameclullary hemangioblastoma who showed paraparesis postoperatively.One patient who suffered from complete paraplegia preoperatively did not recover after surgery. In twopatients, renal cell carcinoma was detected and nephrectomy was undergone. It was noteworthy that meta-stasis of renal cell carcinoma to the hemangioblastoma was histologically proved with anti-cytokeratin im-munostaining in two patients with VHL-associated renal cell carcinoma.

Molecular genetic analysis showed a missence mutation in one family and possible intragenic deletion inanother family. However, two families showed no VHL gene mutation with single strand conformationalpolymorphism or Southern blot analyses.

Spinal cord hemangioblastomas in VHL. disease are often multiple and located at various sites and seemto be underestimated. Surveillance should start in childhood and requires annual follow-up with imaging ofthe central nervous system and abdominal viscera. Presymptomatic diagnosis by gene analysis can be veryuseful for early detection of this disease.
