Tumors Arising from the Blood Vessels of the Brain: Angiomatous Malformations and Hemangioblastomas.

This lavishly illustrated report of clinical and anatomic studies of unusual intracranial tumors is in two parts, each with a separate bibliography. Fourteen angiomas, five of them venous, are first reported, and in part II, eleven more solid or cystic vascular tumors which the authors at present regard as hemangioblastomas, all beneath the cerebellar tentorium, are then dealt with. One in the last group resembles hypernephroma (case XXI). There was no postmortem examination and, although the disease extended over several years, that is by no means exceptional with hypernephromas. About a fifth of the illustrations are taken from reports by others in medical literature, or are of conditions found by others clinically or after death. Full credit is given for their source. One illustration (fig. 100) is reproduced from a colored drawing which the authors in another place (Arch. Ophth. 57:447 [May] 1928) credit to Dr. W. H. Wilmer
