Abstract

The retinoblastomais known as the most common intraocular malignancy of the childhood. In addition to other diagnostic methods theOptical Coherence Tomography (OCT) may be considered an important tool in the evaluation ofselective involvement of the retinaby small and medium sized tumors at the posterior pole of the eye.The authors present two cases of retinoblastoma in which the OCT was ableto demonstrate the morphological features of the tumor at diagnosis and the structural changes in tumor tissue and in adjacent retina that occurred, in each case, after different modalities of treatment.
