  • Title: Differentials and approach to leukocoria.
    Author: Patel N, Salchow DJ, Materin M.
    Journal: Conn Med; 2013 Mar; 77(3):133-40. PubMed ID: 23589950.
    Abstract:
    Leukocoria is an important clinical examination finding as it can be a sign of significant intraocular pathology, with the most common being retinoblastoma and congenital cataracts. The Brückner test is a quick, easy, and inexpensive way to assess the red reflex. When leukocoria is suspected, prompt referral to an ophthalmologist is necessary for further evaluation.
