Abstract

This article describes the characteristic early features of different forms of retinoblastomasof significance for their differential diagnostics. The study included 47 children presenting with small retinoblastomas (83 eyes, 105 tumours), inflammatory granuloma (31 children, 31 foci), and retinal astrocytic hamartoma (11 children, 11 foci). The method of optical coherent tomography was applied for the purpose of tumour identification. It was shown that the data thus obtained in the combination with clinical observations make it possible to diagnose malignant retinal tumours in the children at the early stages of their development and thereby to prescribe the timely adequate treatment.
