A case report of the management of multiple metachronous haemangioblastomas in a patient with von Hippel - Lindau disease.

abstract：:Epidermoid tumours are rare intracranial tumours. They are commonly found in the cerebellopontine angle and the suprasellar region. However, they are also known to occur in other locations. Anterior interhemispheric fissure epidermoid cysts are rarer still, and calcification among epidermoids is considered unusual and...
