Orbital growth retardation in retinoblastoma survivors: Work in progress

Abstract

There was a significant orbital growth retardation after enucleation and/or irradiation for RB. There was no difference between mean orbital volumes after enucleation, radiation or both. Orbital growth retardation was most prominent in children treated in the first year of life. Although small in number, our study suggests that deferring enucleation and/or irradiation until after the age of 12 months may reduce long-term complications.
