Esses tumores incluem hemangioblastoma da retina e sistema nervoso central (CSN), carcinoma de células renais, feocromocitoma, tumores de pâncreas, cistoadenoma de rins, pâncreas e epidídimo. Os sintomas mais comuns são perda da visão, aumento da pressão intracraniana, déficits neurológicos, aumento da pressão arterial sistêmica paradoxal e dor local. Relatamos o caso de um paciente com perda de visão e história de hemangiomas cerebelares cujo diagnóstico de VHL foi feito após exame oftalmológico.Von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) disease is an autossomical, dominant inherited tumour syndrom.
