Retinoblastoma presenting as total hyphema: Three year follow-up

Abstract

Retinoblastoma very rarely presents as total hyphema. Our patient presented at an early age of 7months. Follow-up of 3years shows that unilateral group E retinoblastoma was treated successfully with enucleation and adjuvant chemotherapy. The fellow eye remained normal during this period. The factors associated with delay in treatment are also described. Reports like the present case add to the information available about advanced staging of retinoblastoma at the time of presentation, seen in cases with spontaneous hyphema due to the tumor.
