Overview
The commonest primary intraocular malignancy of childhood, reported at approximately one in 20,000 children. Around 90% present before age 3 and 95% before age 5; median age at diagnosis is about 12 months for bilateral disease and about 24 months for unilateral. It is life-threatening as well as sight-threatening, and it is the reason an abnormal red reflex in a child is never a routine finding.
