Patient Presentation: A 23-year-old obese female was diagnosed with idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) and referred to neurosurgery for ventriculoperitoneal shunt. A baseline ocular examination was performed prior to the procedure.
On examination, vision was 20/200 in the right eye, and 20/40 in the left eye. There was a right relative afferent pupillary defect. Slit lamp examination was normal.
A dilated fundus examination was performed demonstrating the following:

Case 6
Patient Presentation: A 59-year-old male was referred to an ophthalmology service due to decreased vision in his left eye over the past 5 months. The patient had brain surgery for a cerebellar tumour last year. On assessment, his visual acuity was 20/30-1 OD and 20/350+2 OS. IOP was 16 OD and 18 OS. Slit lamp examination demonstrated early cataracts. Fundus photographs, fundus autofluorescence, and OCT macula OU were obtained and shown below:

Question: Which option correctly matches the OCT findings in both eyes?
Question: Based on the multi-modal imaging provided, what is the most likely diagnosis?
Question: What is the most likely systematic diagnosis in this patient?
Question: Which of the following is recommended to manage this patient’s retinal hemangioblastomas and VHL disease?
