CAUSES FOR ENUCLEATION IN CHILDHOOD WITH SPECIAL REFERENCE TO PSEUDOGLIOMAS AND UNSUSPECTED RETINOBLASTOMASInternational Ophthalmology Clinics, 2
Abstract In a series of 1,000 eyes enucleated from children under the age of 15 years, 50% of the eyes were removed because of trauma and 20% because of a neoplastic process. Only 1% of all these specimens contained a totally unsuspected tumor.1 The most common ocular tumor of childhood is retinoblastoma, but it is rarely seen after the first decade. Among Wintersteiner's 400 cases,2 only ten patients were older than 9 years of age, and Reese3 reported his oldest patient as being 11 years of age. Ocular injury followed by panophthalmitis is a rare cause for enucleation of an eye that contains a retinoblastoma, especially in an 11-year-old child.
