To describe the efficacy of belzutifan as a treatment for juxtapapillary retinal hemangioblastomas in patients with von Hippel-Lindau disease. A case and its findings were analyzed, and a systematic literature review was conducted using PubMed and Ovid MEDLINE. At a routine follow-up, a 63-year-old woman with a history of von Hippel-Lindau disease and slowly progressive bilateral juxtapapillary retinal hemangioblastomas presented with decreased visual acuity (VA) in the right eye resulting from significant lesion growth and an increase in central macular edema and exudate.

We present a mechanically sheared image acquisition format for upright and open-top light-sheet microscopes that automatically places data in its proper spatial context. This approach, which reduces computational post-processing and eliminates unnecessary interpolation or duplication of the data, is demonstrated on an upright variant of axially swept light-sheet microscopy (ASLM) that achieves a field of view, measuring 774 × 435 microns, that is 3.2-fold larger than previous models and a raw and isotropic resolution of ∼460 nm.
