Abstract
The study of the genetic aspects of endocrine diseases is based on the aspiration to develop the methods of early diagnosis, treatment and observation of patients. Von Hippel-Lindau syndrome is genetically determined disease characterized by damage of various organs and systems. The article presents a clinical case of treatment of a patient with retinal detachment who was first admitted to the surgical department of the Federal State Budgetary Institution «NMIC of Endocrinology» of the Ministry of Health of Russia with complaints of dry mouth, general weakness. Further examination, revealed pathological changes in the adrenal glands, kidneys, brain, pancreas, spleen, spinal cord. The presented clinical case demonstrates the need for a multidisciplinary approach to the management of patients with von Hippel-Lindau syndrome.
