Suture the Feeding and Drainage Vessels to Treat Complicatied Retinal Hemangioblastoma

Abstract

Retinal hemangioblastoma (RH) is a benign vascular tumor with round, circumscribed appearance, which is often found in the juxtapapillary or peripheral retina. It can be either an isolated vascular abnormality or a manifestation of von Hippel-Lindau syndrome (VHL). RH progresses slowly, but it can lead to significant visual loss from exudative retinal detachment caused by tumor exudation or tractional retinal detachment (TRD) caused by glial proliferation.
