RESUMO
O retinoblastoma é conhecido como o mais comum dos tumores intraoculares na infância. Além dos métodos convencionais de diagnóstico, podemos acrescentar a tomografia de coerência óptica (OCT) como um instrumento relevante na avaliação seletiva do comprometimento retiniano, dos tumores pequenos e médios do polo posterior. Os autores apresentam dois casos de retinoblastoma nos quais a OCT pode demonstrar as características morfológicas do tumor ao diagnóstico e as modificações estruturais do tecido tumoral e da retina adjacente, que ocorreram, em cada caso, após distintas modalidades de tratamento.
ABSTRACT
The retinoblastoma is known as the most common intraocular malignancy of the childhood. In addition to other diagnostic methods the optical coherence Tomography (OCT) may be considered an important tool in the evaluation of selective involvement of the retina by small and medium sized tumors at the posterior pole of the eye. The authors present two cases of retinoblastoma in which the OCT was able to demonstrate the morphological features of the tumor at diagnosis and the structural changes in tumor tissue and in adjacent retina that occurred, in each case, after different modalities of treatment.
