Association of electroretinography with visual outcomes after ophthalmic artery chemosurgery for retinoblastoma in ICRb D and E eyes.

ABSTRACT:

Importance

Predictions of visual outcomes are useful in clinical and family decisions regarding treatment for retinoblastoma. Very little has been published on the association of post-treatment visual acuity with pre-treatment electroretinography (ERG), which can be performed on infants too young to reliably quantify visual acuity.

Objective

To report associations of pre-treatment ERG with post-treatment visual acuity in eyes with advanced retinoblastoma treated with ophthalmic artery chemosurgery (OAC).

Design

Retrospective case-control study of eyes treated from 2006 through 2017, with mean follow-up of 51 months (range 2.3-150 months).

Setting

Single large academic center.

Participants

Group D and E eyes treated with OAC at Memorial Sloan Kettering Ca
