Retinoblastoma

A rare eye tumor disease representing the most common intraocular malignancy in children. It is a life threatening neoplasia but is potentially curable and it can be hereditary or non hereditary, unilateral or bilateral.

Strabismus

A misalignment of the eyes so that the visual axes deviate from bifoveal fixation. The classification of strabismus may be based on a number of features including the relative position of the eyes, whether the deviation is latent or manifest, intermittent or constant, concomitant or otherwise and according to the age of onset and the relevance of any associated refractive error.

Three clinical cases have been chosen to illustrate the pitfalls that can be encountered when warning signs other than leukokoria or strabismus indicate possible retinoblastoma.

Children who present with leukocoria strabismus, hypopyon, heterochromia, rubeosis, hyphema, or an orbital cellulitis should be referred to an ophthalmologist for a dilated fundus examination of both eyes, under general anesthesia if necessary, to rule out the possibility of a retinoblastoma in the differential diagnosis.
