Leukocoria means ‘white pupil.’ Leukocoria is an abnormal pupillary reflex usually more prominent after pupillary dilation. It is often the first sign of a range of serious intraocular disorders. Leukocoria is commonly seen in congenital cataracts, Coats disease, retinoblastoma, retinopathy of prematurity, toxocariasis, Norrie disease, retrolental fibroplasia, and other disorders. Immediate diagnosis and management are mandatory as most conditions are vision-threatening, and retinoblastoma may be life-threatening. Immediate referral to an ophthalmologist, an interdisciplinary liaison with a pediatric ophthalmologist, retina specialist, and ocular oncologist will help in the management of eyes with leukocoria in an appropriate manner.
白瞳症意味着“白色瞳孔”。白瞳症是一种异常的瞳孔反射，通常在瞳孔散大后更为明显。它常常是一系列严重眼内疾病的首要体征。白瞳症常见于先天性白内障、科茨病、视网膜母细胞瘤、早产儿视网膜病变、弓蛔虫病、诺里病、晶状体后纤维增生症及其他疾病。由于大多数情况会威胁视力，而视网膜母细胞瘤可能危及生命，因此必须立即进行诊断和处理。立即转诊至眼科医生处，并与小儿眼科医生、视网膜专科医生和眼科肿瘤学家进行多学科协作，将有助于以恰当方式处理患有白瞳症的眼睛。
