Unilateral Leukocoria in an Infant
Copyright © 2020, Vasireddy et al..
A nine-day-old male infant presents with his mother to the pediatric clinic with a concern of a white spot in his right eye. There was no history of antenatal or perinatal complications and the mother's serology was negative. Physical examination was remarkable only for leukocoria in the right eye. He was evaluated to have a Mittendorf dot. This is a benign clinical finding. Pupillary reflex check is an important part of a physical examination which can recognise pathological conditions such as cataract, retinoblastoma, metabolic errors with ocular manifestations and lead to early treatment before the child loses vision.
