Von Hippel Lindau (VHL) is a hereditary multiple neoplasia syndrome. We report a case series of two siblings with Von Hippel Lindau (VHL) disease admitted to the rehabilitation department after surgical excision of Central Nervous System (CNS) haemangioblastomas. These clinical cases present rehabilitation challenges in VHL disease. We present a 39-year-old brother and his 45-year-old sister, with the diagnosis of incomplete spinal cord injury (SCI) associated with VHL syndrome lesions. The female patient was diagnosed with chronic motor incomplete cervical SCI and the male patient with acute motor incomplete thoracic SCI. Our target was to increase their functionality and improve their quality of life. Both underwent a comprehensive inpatient rehabilitation program. Programs were individualized as the female patient was admitted 15 years after her spinal cord surgical intervention, while the male patient's admission was after 4 months of his surgery.
