The article reports a case of stargardt disease in a patient with retinoblastoma. Retinoblastoma is the most common primary ocular malignancy of young children, with an incidence of 1:17000 to 1:34000 new births. Although new modalities offer an enhanced chance of eye salvage, in bilateral disease, management often leads to enucleation of the more-involved eye, with more conservative treatment of the better eye. The article describes the case of a child with bilateral retinoblastoma after enucleation of the more-involved eye at 13 months of age, who was diagnosed as having stargardt disease in the preserved eye at age 10. |
