Abstract
A total of 60 eyes with retinoblastoma were examined by echography using the A-scan (Kretz 7200 MA) and B-scan (Ocuscan 400) at different sensitivity levels. The results documented by polaroid photographs were analysed quantitatively. Some additional diagnostic criteria were obtained. The differential diagnosis of a broad spectrum of vitreoretinal diseases is discussed.
