    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Pediatric Ophthalmology
    • Medical Diagnostics

    Background:

    • Leukocoria, or white pupil, is an important clinical sign that can indicate serious ocular pathology in children.
    • Accurate differential diagnosis is essential for timely intervention and management of sight-threatening conditions.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review and discuss the differential diagnosis of diseases presenting with leukocoria.
    • To highlight key conditions that require prompt recognition.

    Main Methods:

    • Literature review of common and significant causes of leukocoria.
    • Discussion of clinical features and diagnostic considerations for each condition.

    Main Results:

    • Congenital cataract, persistent primary vitreous, retrolental fibroplasia, retinoblastoma, Coats' disease, von Hippel's disease, inflammatory pseudoglioma, Norrie's disease, and organized intraocular hemorrhage are identified as key differential diagnoses.
    • Each condition presents unique diagnostic challenges and management strategies.

    Conclusions:

    • A systematic approach to the differential diagnosis of leukocoria is vital.
    • Early and accurate diagnosis can significantly impact visual outcomes and prevent further complications.
