SUMMARY

Aim - analysis of epidemiological, clinical and morphological features and methods of treatment of
retinoblastoma.

Materials and methods
The study was conducted among 37 patients with retinoblastoma of the National Center Ophthalmology named
after acad. Zarifa Aliyeva for the last 10 years (2009-2018). The age of patients was 0-4 years. All patients had a
visual examination of the fundus, ultrasound examination of B-scan, MRI or CT.

Results
There were 37 patients in our investigation.There were 18 boys (48,6%), 19 girls (51,4%) among the patients.
The maximal amount of patients was registered in 2014 and made up 8 people. The peak of morbidity was at the
age between 1-4 years.
There were 34 cases with monolateral, 2 cases with bilateral, 1 cases with trilateral retinoblastoma among the
admitted patients. 28 patients were with IVB, 6 patients with IIIB and 3 patients with VB disease stage. 3 patients
received organ-preserving therapy, the enucleation was held to 34 patients and exenteration was exposed to one
patient. There were not detected the cases of generalization of process or dearth.

Conclusion
Patients with a diagnosis of retinoblastoma should be observed every 1-3-6 months for 5 years. Then they must
undergo medical examination once a year. The patients with complex treatment may have a good results such as a
long life expectancy, decreasing risk of enucleation.
