Prenatal genetic diagnosis of retinoblastoma – clinical correlates on follow‑up.

ABSTRACT

Retinoblastoma is the most common malignant intraocular tumor in pediatric age group if undetected leads to ocular mortality. Prenatal diagnosis is an emerging technology to detect fatal diseases in utero such that subsequent management is planned to reduce the ocular morbidity. We describe a case demonstrating the importance of prenatal diagnosis in a child with a strong family history of retinoblastoma and importance of a long‑term clinical follow‑up in these cases.
