Clinical informative value of computer echography for the differential diagnosis of severe intrauterine uveitis (68 children, 96 eyes), retinopathy neonatorum (37 children, 74 eyes), Coats' retinitis (35 children, 35 eyes), and retinoblastoma (17 children, 26 eyes) was studied in a group of 157 children (231 eyes) with opaque refracting media. Ultrasonic diagnostic equipment with a high level of computer support essentially improved the resolving capacity of echography and detected accessory acoustic signs of some congenital ocular diseases.

D012175	Retinoblastoma	A malignant tumor arising from the nuclear layer of the retina that is the most common primary tumor of the eye in children. The tumor tends to occur in early childhood or infancy and may be present at birth. The majority are sporadic, but the condition may be transmitted as an autosomal dominant trait. Histologic features include dense cellularity, small round polygonal cells, and areas of calcification and necrosis. An abnormal pupil reflex (leukokoria); NYSTAGMUS, PATHOLOGIC; STRABISMUS; and visual loss represent common clinical characteristics of this condition.
