Abstract
To determine whether treatment of macular retinoblastoma with chemotherapy and laser hyperthermia can lead to satisfactory visual acuity. A child with unilateral macular retinoblastoma was treated with chemotherapy and laser hyperthermia. Visual function was assessed one year after treatment. At age 25 months, the patient had normal visual behavior and a normal spatial-sweep visual-evoked potential. Treatment of macular retinoblastoma with chemotherapy and laser hyperthermia may enable recovery of satisfactory visual acuity.
