  • Title: Delayed diagnosis of retinoblastoma.
    Author: Nwosu SN, Okoye GS, Ulasi TO.
    Journal: Cent Afr J Med; 1994 Dec; 40(12):353-5. PubMed ID: 7882417.
    Abstract:
    The initial clinical presentation of retinoblastoma can mimic other non-malignant conditions. This may cause a delay in accurate diagnosis with fatal consequences. Two cases are presented in which the initial impression of panophthalmitis and congenital cataract, respectively, led to delay in diagnosis. The need for early clinical diagnosis bearing in mind the masquerading tendency of retinoblastoma is emphasized. Treatment modalities readily available in our environment are highlighted.
