    1. We report on a Japanese VHL family in which two of the three affected members developed acute occlusive hydrocephalus that necessitated emergency surgery for ventricular shunt or drainage.

      PatientID: 3

      KindredID: 1

      Case: F, 14Y0M, Japanese

      DiseaseAssertion: assumed VHL

      FamilyInfo: Mother (39Y) with retinal angiomas and cerebellar hemangioblastoma, and her older sister (P1) with cerebellar hemangioblastoma, retinal capillary hemangioma, pancreatic cysts and a hearing impairment both had the p.P86L VHL mutation. Father did not.

      CaseHPOFreeText: at age 14 had 3 small inter cranial tumors (not removed) and by at 19 years had obstructive hydrocephalus caused by enlargement of the cerebellar tumors (hemangioblastomas). Retinal angiomas were found in the right eye, cystic lesions in the pancreas and the left kidney, and a cystic tumor in the cervical cord

    1. A female patient presented with VHL disease at age 16, when a symptomatic left adrenal pheochromocytoma was diagnosed and removed laparoscopically. At age 28, a cystic cerebellar hemangioblastoma was removed. Molecular genetic testing revealed the mutation VHL c.500 G > A (p. R167Q).In 2010, she was admitted to the Freiburg Preventive Medicine Center. Baseline MRI detected multiple intraspinal hemangioblastomas associated with tumor cysts. Abdominal MRI also showed a 5.6 × 5.4 cm solid tumor in the pancreatic tail that was richly vascularized

      CaseHPOFreeText: At age 16 she presented with a left adrenal pheochromocytoma which was removed laparoscopically. At age 28, a cystic cerebellar hemangioblastoma was removed. In 2010, she was admitted to the Freiburg Preventive Medicine Center. Baseline MRI detected multiple intraspinal hemangioblastomas associated with tumor cysts. Abdominal MRI also showed a 5.6 × 5.4 cm solid tumor in the pancreatic tail that was richly vascularized. Three of eleven lymph nodes showed metastases.

    1. All family members underwent clinical, laboratory, imaging, and genetic evaluation.

      PatientID: IV-28 [written in Table 2 as IV-24 - typo]

      KindredID: 1

      Case: F, 33Y0M, Iranian

      DiseaseAssertion: assumed VHL

      FamilyInfo: Familial history was positive. See Fig 1. A total of 43 members of the kindred, 24 males and 19 females, aged 2-77 years were reached for evaluation. It is stated in the paper that all affected subjects (13) were positive for the same mutation (c.500G>A). Additionally, gene sequencing revealed that 4 asymptomatic members of the kindred also harbored the pathogenic mutation, one of which was this patient who proved to be symptomatic. Phenotypes include pheochromocytoma, hemangioblastoma, and retinal HB.

      CasePresentingHPOs: HP:0011732; HP:0006880; HP:0010302 (abnormality of adrenal morphology, cerebellar hemangioblastoma, spinal cord tumor)

      CaseHPOFreeText: Originally thought to be an asymptomatic carrier, however after follow-up was found to be symptomatic: brain MRI revealed multiple tutors, including a frontal mass (cerebellar tumor) with multiple spinal lesions, and an abdominal CT showed a 1.6x1.7 right adrenal mass. Additionally, this patient was pregnant at the time, to which was terminated at the 38th week of gestation with a caesarian section. She has two other children already.

      CaseNotHPOs: HP:0000077 (abnormality of the kidney)

      CaseNotHPOFreeText: There was no case of kidney tumors among the kindred.
