Risk of cataract extraction among adult retinoblastoma survivors.

30 Oct 2009 OBJECTIVE: To investigate the risk of cataract extraction among adult retinoblastoma survivors. DESIGN: A retrospective cohort study was performed on retinoblastoma survivors who received the diagnosis from 1914 to 1984 and were interviewed in 2000. ... Read more...

Multiple anterior and posterior chamber pseudocysts in a 12-year-old boy with diffuse infiltrating retinoblastoma.

20 Sep 2009 Diffuse infiltrating retinoblastoma is a rare subtype, occurring in 1% of all patients with retinoblastoma. It usually presents with pseudoinflammatory response in the anterior chamber and the vitreous, masquerading as endophthalmitis or uveitis. ... Read more...
