Eyes
Abnormalities of the head/hair may include ___
- Nystagmus
- Strabismus
- Anisocoria
- Proptosis
- Poor vision
- Orbital cellulitis
- Hyphema
- Heterochromia iridis
- Unilateral mydriasis
- Rubeosis iridis
- Red, painful eye with glaucoma
- Vitreous hemorrhage
- White reflex or cat's eye reflex
Pupils non-reactive to light / non-reactive to accomodation / non-reactive to neither light nor accomodation
- Ophthalmoscopic exam may be abnormal with findings of chalky white-gray retinal mass
- The diagnosis of retinoblastoma is usually made during a dilated indirect ophthalmoscopic examination, performed under anesthesia. The characteristic finding is a chalky, white-gray retinal mass with a soft, friable consistency.[1]
- The fundoscopic examination may show retinal detachment with retinal vessels visible behind the lens and may show vitreous and/or subretinal seeding. Intrinsic tumor calcification, tumor microvasculature, may also be seen. This examination permits complete visualization of the retina, identification of multifocal tumors and/or vitreous or subretinal seeding.
