Patient P5 A 32-year-old man accessed the ophthalmic emergency service in 2010. BCVA was 20/32 in OD, and the fundoscopic examination revealed three peripheral RCHs with retinal detachment and a juxtapapillary fibrovascular membrane (Figure 4). Moreover, two small retinal lesions were detected in OS, and BCVA of OS was 20/20. The patient underwent retinal surgery in OS (scleral buckle and transscleral cryotherapy); then, the lesions of both eyes were treated with multiple laser sessions. The CNS imaging revealed the presence of multiple cerebellar and spinal hemangioblastomas. In 2012, cataract surgery was performed in OD. In August 2019, BCVA was 20/20 OU, and regression of all the RCHs was observed.

CaseHPOFreeText: Patient had an ophthalmic emergency service in 2010 at age 32Y0M. His visual acuity was 20/32 in the right eye, but fundoscopic examination revealed three peripheral RCHs with retinal detachment. Moreover, two small retinal lesions were detected in the left eye, yet the visual acuity of this eye was 20/20. The patient underwent retinal surgery in the left eye and lesions of both eyes were treated with multiple laser sessions. CNS imaging revealed multiple cerebellar and spinal hemangioblastomas. In 2012, cataract surgery was performed in the right eye. In 2019, visual acuity was 20/20 in both eyes and all the RCHs regressed.
