[Neuro-anatomy of retinoblastoma]

In four cases of retinoblastoma examined with the method of Golgi we have only found vessels and glial elements at different stages of differentiation. Moreover, in the areas containing typical rosettes, Golgi method revealed some isolately impregnated elements resembling photoreceptors in evolution. Within the retina abuting on the tumor were found only normal retinal nervous elements. Some nervous elements were found also in areas where the tumor tissue intermingled with infiltrated neighbouring retina.
