    Abstract:
    PURPOSE: Retrospective analysis of retinoblastoma symptoms in patients treated in Ophthalmological Clinic in Krakow. MATERIAL AND METHODS: A retrospective chart review was conducted of 293 retinoblastoma patients from our center (1969-2008). RESULTS: A total of 170 (58%) of 293 patients presented with leukocoria, 81 (27.6%) patients had strabismus, 22 (7.5%) had atypical sings, 12 (4.1%) was detected by chance. Eight (2.8%) patients who had a family history of retinoblastoma and were clinically screened for retinal tumors from birth were diagnosed younger. CONCLUSIONS: We recommend routine dilated fundoscopic examination by an ophthalmologist for early detection of retinoblastoma before leukocoria and strabismus.
