Retinoblastoma (RB) is the most common intraocular malignancy in children, and patients with family history of retinoblastoma are at high risk of disease. While intensive screening programs have led to earlier diagnosis and higher rates of globe salvage, visual outcomes have not improved. Handheld optical coherence tomography (HH-OCT) is a non-invasive imaging modality that can be utilized for screening, diagnosis, and monitoring of Familial RB. We present a case of a patient who was found to have bilateral Familial RB with HH-OCT after having a normal fundoscopic exam. This case demonstrates the utility of HH-OCT imaging and suggests that further research is needed to see whether screening guidelines should require OCT imaging during screening.
视网膜母细胞瘤(RB)是儿童中最常见的眼内恶性肿瘤,有视网膜母细胞瘤家族史的患者患病风险很高。尽管强化筛查项目已使诊断更早且眼球挽救率更高,但视觉效果并未改善。手持式光学相干断层扫描(HH-OCT)是一种非侵入性成像方式,可用于家族性RB的筛查、诊断和监测。我们报告一例患者,其在眼底镜检查正常后通过HH-OCT被发现患有双侧家族性RB。该病例证明了HH-OCT成像的效用,并表明需要进一步研究以确定筛查指南是否应要求在筛查期间进行OCT成像。
