    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Pediatric Oncology
    • Medical Diagnostics

    Background:

    • Retinoblastoma is the most common childhood intraocular malignancy.
    • It typically presents with classic signs like leukokoria, glaucoma, strabismus, or vision loss.
    • A small subset of cases manifest with atypical signs mimicking other conditions.

    Observation:

    • This paper reports the first case of retinoblastoma presenting as a spontaneous total hyphema.
    • The unusual presentation involved the anterior segment of the eye.
    • This presentation can be mistaken for more common diagnoses.

    Findings:

    • Accurate diagnosis of atypical retinoblastoma requires a high index of suspicion for malignancy.
    • Diagnostic imaging, including ultrasound and computed axial tomographic scanning, is crucial.
    • Early detection through advanced imaging aids in timely intervention.

    Implications:

    • Highlights the importance of considering retinoblastoma in atypical presentations.
    • Emphasizes the role of advanced imaging in diagnosing rare pediatric eye cancers.
    • Underscores the need for vigilance among clinicians managing pediatric eye conditions.
