Von Hippel-Lindau Incidentally Diagnosed in Evaluation of Sporadic Aniridia

A 15-year-old girl with history of unilateral sporadic aniridia presented with decreased vision and eye pain in the left eye (Fig 1A). Fundus examination of right eye revealed a capillary hemangioma inferonasally with circumferential exudation consistent with Von Hippel-Lindau Syndrome (VHL) (Fig 1B). Examination of the left eye revealed complete chronic exudative retinal detachment and neovascular glaucoma presumed to be due to capillary hemangioma (Fig 1C). Genetic testing and a systemic work-up were performed.
