Overview
Retinoblastoma must be differentiated from other diseases that cause leukocoria, such as [differential dx1], [differential dx2], and [differential dx3].
Differential diagnosis
The common causes of leukocoria in children include:
- Congenital Cataract
- Persistent fetal vasculature
- Coats disease
Less common causes of leukocoria include:
- Coloboma (fissure or cleft) of choroid or optic disc
- Toxocariasis
- Astrocytic hamartoma
- Retinopathy of prematurity (stage 4, 5)
- Vitreous hemorrhage
- Uveitis (pars planitis)
- Retinal dysplasia
- Medulloepithelioma
Differentiating features of some common and less common differential diagnosis are:
