Sumario:BACKGROUND: Retinoblastoma is the most common malignant eye tumor in children and is associated with tumor predisposition syndrome (RB1 mutation) in up to 40% of cases. Imaging is an important part of the diagnostic workup of children with retinoblastoma both during the initial diagnosis and follow-up. OBJECTIVES: The goal of this review is to present the current state-of-the-art regarding imaging of children with retinoblastoma, including technical background and diagnostic clues with a brief discussion of future prospects. In addition, we summarize the general clinical diagnostic workup and therapeutic options. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Review of the literature and our own experience in the imaging of retinoblastoma. CONCLUSION: High-resolution magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the imaging modality of choice in children with retinoblastoma for diagnosis (estimation of diagnosis/differential diagnosis, evaluation of local and intracranial tumor extension) and during follow-up. Despite the characteristic calcifications, computed tomography (CT) examinations are no longer indicated in these patients. Due to the high association with tumor predisposition syndrome, genetic counselling is recommended.
