Contribution of echography to the diagnosis of retinoblastoma: a homogeneous B-scan study. 1985

J Poujol, and B Varene

This paper concerns the echographic study of 38 pathological eyes suspected to be retinoblastoma cases examined between 1980 and 1983. It was a homogeneous study carried out with the same machine (Biophysic Medical's Triscan) and the same operator. No error of diagnosis was made on the 25 eyes considered to be cases of retinoblastoma. Two doubtful cases turned out to be pseudogliomas and in eleven cases the diagnosis of pseudoglioma given by the echography examination turned out to be correct. This study helps to demonstrate the importance of echography in the diagnosis of retinoblastoma and in the differential diagnosis between retinoblastoma and pseudoglioma.

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.
