CT Scan Evaluation of Retinoblastoma
Journal Title: PARIPEX-Indian Journal of Research - Year 2016, Vol 5, Issue 11
Abstract
A prospective study was carried out in patients suspected of retinoblastoma to evaluate the role of CT in diagnosis and staging. The presenting features were leukocoria and proptosis for which CT was advised after clinical evaluation. Calcification is seen in all patients with retinoblastoma and high sensitivity of the CT for detecting calcium makes it cost effective and reliable diagnostic modality. CT scanning also increase accuracy in differentiating retinoblastomas from other simulating lesions. In addition simultaneous scanning of brain can be used to evaluate intracranial extension.
