Abstract
Retinoblastoma recurrence following enucleation is relatively rare complication. It usually involves orbit, pineal, parasellar or suprasellar regions. Meticulous follow-up during the first two years after surgery should be done in all patients undergoing enucleation for retinoblastoma. Radiotherapy and intensive systemic chemotherapy may be useful in this disease. We describe an unusual case of orbital recurrence of retinoblastoma with intracranial metastases in a 3 year old girl child.
