Von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) syndrome is an autosomal dominant genetic disorder caused by mutations in the VHL tumor suppressor gene, predisposing patients to various benign and malignant tumors. Retinal capillary hemangioblastomas are often the earliest manifestation, appearing in adolescence or early adulthood. These vascular tumors can cause exudative retinal detachment, macular edema, and severe vision loss if untreated.
