Popis: Purpose: The purpose of this study was to report a case of Von Hippel-Lindau disease (VHL) with twin retinal capillary hemangiomas that was successfully treated by vitreous surgery for tractional retinal detachment following laser photocoagulation. Case: A 44-year-old male presented at our university hospital after noticing decreased visual acuity in his right eye. The patient had previously undergone multiple operations for cerebellar, thoracic, and lumbar spine hemangioblastomas when he was approximately 19 years old. Upon initial examination, ocular findings revealed twin connected retinal capillary hemangiomas around the temporal upper area of the patient’s right eye. The patient was subsequently diagnosed with VHL based on his medical history and current observations of the ocular fundus. Tractional retinal detachment had occurred as the result of the formation of proliferative membranes following laser photocoagulation. The patient underwent vitreous surgery to treat the tractional retinal detachment, resulting in a successful postoperative outcome. Conclusion: The findings of this study show the possibility that proliferative changes and tractional retinal detachment can arise following photocoagulation for retinal capillary hemangiomas in patients with VHL.
