Abstract
Retinoblastoma is the most common malignant intraocular tumor
in pediatric age group if undetected leads to ocular mortality.
Prenatal diagnosis is an emerging technology to detect fatal
diseases in utero such that subsequent management is planned
to reduce the ocular morbidity. We describe a case demonstrating
the importance of prenatal diagnosis in a child with a strong
family history of retinoblastoma and importance of a long‑term
clinical follow‑up in these cases.
