Visual fields in a successfully radiated retinoblastoma patient.

1. Computerized visual fields have recently been used to study patients before and after treatment of choroidal melanoma with plaque therapy. Such information is unavailable for patients diagnosed with retinoblastoma. 2. There is no information on the long term visual fields of successfully treated retinoblastoma; therefore, no comparisons can be made between the effects of photocoagulation, cryotherapy, plaques, and external beam radiation on the visual field defects. 3. External beam radiation to tumors around the optic nerve caused widespread patchy sparing because of partial destruction of the nerve fiber layer. Whether the destruction was related to the position of the tumors or the effect of the radiation is unknown.

Optic nerve meningioma: a case report.

1. Primary meningiomas are slow growing, cytologically benign tumors that can invade the optic nerve, dura, or extraocular muscles, but do not metastasize. 2. Although many of the presenting signs, symptoms, and clinical patterns for primary meningioma are nonspecific, there can be a distinctive pattern. 3. Treatment depends on the patient's visual acuity, size, and location of the tumor.

Unusual presenting signs of retinoblastoma: a case study.

In the US, leukocoria is the most common presenting sign of retinoblastoma, and strabismus is the second most common finding. Retinoblastoma less frequently presents as an inflammatory process involving the eye or orbit, which often masks the symptoms of retinoblastoma. Children who present with leukocoria strabismus, hypopyon, heterochromia, rubeosis, hyphema, or an orbital cellulitis should be referred to an ophthalmologist for a dilated fundus examination of both eyes, under general anesthesia if necessary, to rule out the possibility of a retinoblastoma in the differential diagnosis.

Identifying a metastatic choroidal tumor: a case study.

Amelanotic lesions of the eye are more commonly seen in metastatic disease, whereas melanomas are usually melanotic and are not associated with pain. Metastatic tumors exhibit medium to high reflectivity pattern on ultrasound A scan, whereas melanomas usually display a low to medium pattern. A patchy, diffuse interocular mass with episcleral and/or orbital involvement is consistent with metastatic tumor of the eye, whereas melanomas tend to be more localized.
