Laparoscopic Adrenalectomy in a Patient of Von Hippel Lindau Syndrome with Ventriculo-Peritoneal Shunt-Anaesthetic management

Abstract

Von Hippel Lindau (VHL) syndrome has a predilection to manifest multiple haemangioblastomas in the retina and central nervous system. We report a rare case of raised intracranial pressure during bilateral laparoscopic adrenalectomy for pheochromocytoma in a patient of VHL syndrome who had a ventriculoperitoneal shunt.
