Summary
Retinoblastoma can spread through cerebrospinal fluid, a pathway typically associated with other brain tumors. This study explores the mechanisms of this metastasis, presenting four illustrative cases.
Area of Science:
- Ophthalmology
- Neurology
- Oncology
Background:
- Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) seeding is a recognized metastatic pathway for various intracranial neoplasms, including medulloblastoma, ependymoma, and glioblastoma.
- Retinoblastoma is infrequently considered a tumor that spreads via CSF metastasis.
