Cerebroretinal Vasculopathy Mimicking a Brain Tumor:A Case of a Rare Hereditary Syndrome Neurol 53:629-631, Weil,S.,et al, 1999 See this aricle in Pubmed Article Abstract We report a 35-year-old man with hereditary cerebroretinal vasculopathy (CRV) characterized by retinal microvascular changes and a right frontal intracerebral mass lesion that suggested a brain tumor. Histopathologic analysis of the patien t's brain lesion as well as reviewed specimens of the patient's mother, who had reportedly died of a brain tumor, showed no neoplasia but did show cerebral microvasculopathy. CRV should be considered as a differential diagnosis for patients with intracer ebral mass lesions retinal vascular changes, and a positive family history of "brain tumors."
