Description Hemangioblastomas (HBLs) are tumors of indeterminate clinicopathologic or immunohistochemical features that may be sporadic or associated with von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) disease. Suprasellar HBLs without VHL are extremely rare, with and only 5 cases have been reported to date. The most common presenting symptoms are visual disturbance, headache, and endocrine disturbances. This is the first case where a suprasellar HBL presents with narrow angle glaucoma due to intratumoral AV shunting. The narrow angle glaucoma reversed after tumor resection.
