Anesthesia management of patients with Von Hippel-Lindau disease (VHL)

Anesthesia management of patients with Von Hippel-Lindau disease (VHL) requires a thorough understanding of the disease’s various manifestations and potential complications. As VHL can affect multiple organ systems, anesthesiologists must be prepared to address issues related to hemodynamic instability, airway management, and potential perioperative complications such as bleeding or thrombosis.

Patients with VHL may have pheochromocytoma, which necessitates careful preoperative assessment and management to avoid severe hypertension and other life-threatening complications. To further explore anesthesia management in VHL, you can download the PowerPoint file here, which provides in-depth information and guidelines for safe and effective perioperative care in this patient population.
