Abstract
(1) Background: Hemangiomas in Von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) syndrome patients are typically benign but pose threats due to their vital locations involving the central nervous system and the retina. An MRI is currently recommended as the gold standard for tumors associated with VHL in the head region. This narrative review aims to comprehensively outline current standards and recent findings related to imaging of retinal and CNS hemangiomas in Von Hippel-Lindau syndrome. (2) Material and Methods: A review in adherence to PRISMA guidelines using the search string “Von Hippel-Lindau hemangioblastoma imaging” was conducted on PUBMED and SCOPUS databases. (3) Results: After reviewing 455 titles and abstracts, 20 publications fulfilling the inclusion criteria were analyzed. The analysis included studies describing MRI, CT, optical coherence tomography, and PET/CT. (4) Conclusion: While MRI remains the gold standard for diagnosing head tumors in Von Hippel-Lindau syndrome, various PET/CT methods show promise as alternative imaging modalities.
