How to Treat Von Hippel-Lindau Disease
There is no known cure for VHL. Treatment depends on your specific symptoms, test results, and general health. Retinal angiomas may be treated with photocoagulation or cryocoagulation. When treatment is needed (eg for cerebellar lesions), it usually involves surgery to remove tumors. However, tumors are usually only removed if they are cancerous or causing other problems, such as preventing an organ from working properly. If tumors are not removed, they must be watched carefully for further growth.
