Von Hippel's disease in association with von Recklinghausen's neurofibromatosis.

Abstract
Members of a large family (10) who showed manifestations of either von Hippel-Lindau disease or von Recklinghausen''s neurofibromatosis were examined. Three of 10 members were found to have retinal angiomas which had not been present on fundus examination 3 yr previously. These angiomas were associated with ocular and systemic signs of neurofibromatosis. These cases show overlapping manifestations of different phakomatoses and provide support for the concept of a common etiology for these diseases.
