Abstract
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.
