RETINOBLASTOMA

Originally posted on @retina.rocks 11/17/2021

This 3YO female has a history of bilateral retinoblastoma and prior enucleation of the right eye. Optos color RG imaging of her left eye shows a still active retinoblastoma, despite prior treatment, which included intra-arterial chemotherapy and cryotherapy.

Learning Points:
Small tumors can be treated with focal therapies such as laser therapy, cryotherapy, or radioactive plaque therapy.

Larger tumors are treated with chemotherapy (most commonly intra-arterial through the ophthalmic artery and occasionally systemic). Chemotherapy has dramatically decreased the need for enucleation.
