Recognizing pediatric eye problems that can save lives- cases not to miss!

Abstract

As pediatric ophthalmologists we deal with many conditions that present as the first manifestation of a systemic disease. Some of these cases can actually be life threatening if not diagnosed and treated in a timely manner. Physicians need to avoid the clinical decision making error of confirmation bias. The purpose of this workshop is to show and discuss cases with life saving impact that should not be missed, including eye findings that can lead to a diagnoses of occult Hirschprung disease, rare manifestations of occult child abuse, unusual presentation of retinoblastoma and others.
