Abstract
- Retinoblastoma is the most common intraocular malignant tumor in childhood. The early diagnosis can be made in children having strabismus, decreased visual acuity, or family history of retinoblastoma. As the tumor grows larger, it produces leukocoria, iris heterochromia, secondary neovascular glaucoma due to rubeosis iridis, ocular protrusion due to mass, optic nerve extension and distant metastasis. Rarely, this tumor shows spontaneous regression to induce phthisis. We recently experienced a case of bilateral retinoblastoma in a 2 year old girl who presented with the protruded right eyeball due to the massive growth of retinoblastoma, simultaneously with the phthisicae left eyeball due to spontaneous regression of retinoblastoma.
