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. |
