Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Pediatric Oncology

Background:

  • Retinoblastoma is the most common primary intraocular malignancy in children.
  • Early detection and treatment are crucial for preserving vision and life.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze the epidemiological and clinical characteristics of retinoblastoma cases.
  • To identify common presenting symptoms and diagnostic methods.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective review of 19 retinoblastoma cases hospitalized between 1982-1996.
  • Analysis of patient demographics, clinical manifestations, and diagnostic findings.

Main Results:

  • Most patients (13/19) were aged 1-3 years.
  • Rural origin was more common (14/19 cases).
  • Seventeen cases showed unilateral, while two showed bilateral, disease. Common symptoms included secondary glaucoma (12/19) and leukochoria (10/19).
  • Delayed presentation was noted in all cases.
  • Computer tomography was used to assess tumor extent.

Conclusions:

  • Retinoblastoma predominantly affects young children, often with unilateral presentation.
  • Delayed diagnosis is a significant issue, highlighting the need for increased awareness among physicians.
  • Comprehensive ophthalmological examination and advanced imaging like CT scans are vital for diagnosis and management.
