Retinal capillary hemangioblastoma (RCH), clinical photographs. Dilated, tortuous retinal feeder artery and draining vein emanate from the optic nerve head (A), leading to the red to orange peripheral retinal tumor (B). An optic nerve head hemangioblastoma causes traction in the macular area (C). In the early arterial phase of fluorescein angiography, the lesion is hyperfluorescent (D). E, Fundus photograph from a 48-year-old woman with von Hippel–Lindau syndrome, multiple cerebellar hemangioblastomas, and a typical-appearing RCH. F, Fluorescein angiogram from the same patient in part D demonstrates focal hyperfluorescence without leakage.
