A new approach to the surgical treatment of lumbar spondylosis.

abstract：OBJECT:In the course of their lives most patients with von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) disease require treatment for several symptom-producing hemangioblastomas of the cerebellum, brainstem, or spinal cord. However, many tumors never produce symptoms and do not require treatment. Detection at an early stage of lesions that wil...
