AbstractVon Hippel-Lindau (VHL) disease is a rare autosomal dominant genetic disorder with retinal and nervous system haemangioblastomas, phaeochromocytomia, kidney, pancreas and endolymphatic tumors. The management of childbirth, including epidural anaesthesia is controversial. The possible presence of vascular malformations (retinal and central nervous system and spinal haemangioblastomas) increases the risk of disrupting central nervous system haemangioblastoma during delivery and when epidural anaesthesia is initiated. We report 3 cases of patient with VHL disease with successful epidural anaesthesia 2 for delivery and 1 for Caesarean section.
