Structural and microvascular changes of the peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer in Von Hippel–Lindau disease: an OCT and OCT angiography study

Von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) disease is an autosomal dominant genetic disease caused by VHL gene mutation. Retinal hemangioblastomas (RH) are vascularized tumors and represent the main ocular manifestation of the disease. Histopathologically, RH are composed of capillary vessels and stromal cells, the neoplastic population of the lesion. The origin of these stromal cells remains controversial, even if they are hypothesized to be glial cells. The aim of the present study was ...
