Computed tomography in the evaluation of patients with bilateral retinoblastomas.

Six patients with histologically proven retinoblastomas were examined by computed tomography, two at the time of initial diagnosis and four from 2 to 30 years following treatment, which consisted of radiation therapy alone or with surgery. The spectrum of computed tomographic findings includes: calcified retinal tumor, intracranial subarachnoid spread of tumor, radiation-induced tumors (papillary adenocarcinoma and undifferentiated sarcoma) in the field of prior radiation, and second, primary central nervous system tumor, a pineoblastoma.
