BACKGROUND Retinoblastoma is the most common malignant eye tumor in children and is associated with tumor predisposition syndrome (RB1 mutation) in up to 40% of cases. Imaging is an important part of the diagnostic workup of children with retinoblastoma both during the initial diagnosis and follow-up. OBJECTIVE The goal of this review is to present the current state-of-the-art regarding imaging of children with retinoblastoma, including technical background and diagnostic clues with a brief discussion of future prospects. In addition, we summarize the general clinical diagnostic workup and therapeutic options. METHODS Review of the literature and our own experience in the imaging of retinoblastoma. CONCLUSIONS High-resolution magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the imaging modality of choice in children with retinoblastoma for diagnosis (estimation of diagnosis/differential diagnosis, evaluation of local and intracranial tumor extension) and during follow-up. Despite the characteristic calcifications, computed tomography (CT) examinations are no longer indicated in these patients. Due to the high association with tumor predisposition syndrome, genetic counselling is recommended.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008279 Magnetic Resonance Imaging Non-invasive method of demonstrating internal anatomy based on the principle that atomic nuclei in a strong magnetic field absorb pulses of radiofrequency energy and emit them as radiowaves which can be reconstructed into computerized images. The concept includes proton spin tomographic techniques.

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.
