Abstract

Leukocoria is an important clinical sign in ophthalmology. Conditions producing this white pupillary reflex must be differentiated from retinoblastoma to insure appropriate and timely treatment. Auxiliary diagnostic testing has been helpful in securing a clinical diagnosis. A new diagnostic modality, magnetic resonance imaging, provides similar morphologic information with the additional potential for biochemical characterization. A series consisting of 14 patients presenting with leukocoria as a result of retinoblastoma and simulating conditions was examined. The magnetic resonance imaging findings are discussed.

摘要

白瞳症是眼科的一项重要临床体征。必须将产生这种白色瞳孔反射的病症与视网膜母细胞瘤区分开来，以确保进行适当及时的治疗。辅助诊断测试有助于做出临床诊断。一种新的诊断方法——磁共振成像，能提供类似的形态学信息，还具有生化特征化的额外潜力。对一组由14例因视网膜母细胞瘤及类似病症而出现白瞳症的患者进行了检查。本文讨论了磁共振成像的检查结果。
