Core Tip
Core Tip: We reported a rare case of the imaging features of retinal hemangioblastoma without von Hippel Lindau syndrome, along with the relevant literature review. A 53-year-old man, who had progressive swelling, pain and blurred vision in the left eye without obvious inducement for 15 d. Ultrasonography revealed a possible optic nerve melanoma of the head. Computed tomography (CT) showed punctate calcification on the posterior wall of the left eye ring and small patchy soft tissue density in the posterior part of the eyeball. Magnetic resonance imaging showed slightly hyperintense on T1-weighted images and slightly hypointense-to-isointense on T2-weighted images at the medial and posterior edges of the left eyeball, a significant enhancement was observed after contrast-enhanced scans. positron emission tomography/CT fusion images showed that the glucose metabolism of the lesion was normal. Pathology was consistent with hemangioblastoma. Early identification of retinal hemangioblastoma by imaging features is of great value for its personalized treatment.
