Retinal detachment risk in a cohort of von Hippel-Lindau patients at a Major U.S. tertiary care facility
VHL patients face a high lifetime risk of RCH and associated RD. PVR frequently complicates the surgical treatment of RD and yields limited visual recovery, underscoring the need for proactive surveillance and timely therapeutic intervention. The universal presence of PVR in these RD eyes is a novel finding that warrants investigation into a possible, though currently speculative, molecular link to pVHL dysregulation.
