Abstract
-
PURPOSE: To report two cases of retinal detachment associated with von Hippel-Lindau syndrome, one case of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment combined with mild proliferative vitreoretinopathy and a case of tractional retinal detachment.
METHODS
Case reports. Pars plana vitrectomy with membrane peeling and silicone oil tamponade were performed in all cases. Lens aspiration was also performed in one case.
RESULTS
Successful retinal reattachment was obtained in all cases. Case 2 developed cataract and secondary glaucoma and was treated with phacoemulsification with posterior chamber lens insertion and YAG laser iridotomy.
CONCLUSIONS
In two patients with retinal detachment occurring in von Hippel-Lindau syndrome, we could obtain successful retinal reattachment with stabilized visual acuity after performing pars plana vitrectomy and silicone oil injection.
