Scleral buckling in retinoblastoma: case report.
In the course of treating retinoblastoma in a monocular child, a progressive retinal detachment occurred. Although no retinal break was demonstrated, several clinical features suggested that the detachment was rhegmatogenous. A successful scleral buckling procedure was performed without adverse sequelae. The rationale for this approach is discussed.
