Low-dose intramuscular ketamine for pediatric radiotherapy: a case report. 1976

H L Amberg, and G Gordon

Ketamine in low IM doses was found to produce satisfactory anesthesia for radiotherapy in a pediatric patient in a series of extended treatments. Change in anesthesiologists may have been a factor in increasing apprehension and anesthetic dosage in later treatments.

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.
