The application of pediatric wide field digital retinal imaging system ( RetCam) in treatment for early retino-blastoma

Objective This study was to analyze the outcomes of local treatment of early retinoblastoma(Rb) with the use of wide field digital retinal imaging system.Methods The clinical data of 12 cases(12 eyes) with retinoblastoma(low risk,A/B stage) confirmed between 2009 and 2012 were retrospectively analyzed.The patients underwent several topical ophthalmic therapies including laser and cryotherapies.Results The survival rate and rate of eyeball salvage were 100% in both stage A and stage B Rb.Tumors were atrophied and calcified in all cases and no recurrence,serious ocular complications or systemic complications were found.Conclusion The early diagnosis is very important for the successful treatment of retinoblastoma.Pediatric wide field digital retinal imaging system(RetCam) facilitates tropical treatment such as laser coagulation or cryotherapies,and is helpful to increase the rate of successful treatment in retinoblastoma.
