what test is used to assess leukocoria
ANSWERS: Immediate referral to an ophthalmologist
what is the first step after you've identified a patient with leukocoria
and you have a high suspicion for retinoblastoma
ANSWERS: retinoblastoma
the most common primary ocular malignancy of childhood, a
malignant
tumor of developing retina, usually diagnosed by age 2 but can occur
up to age 18
ANSWERS: unilateral
retinoblastoma is more commonly unilateral or bilateral
