title: [Retinoblastoma].
abstract: Basic elements of retinoblastoma were evaluated in a sample of 14 patients. The analysis of the sex distribution has revealed that a greater number of male children was affected by the disease (p = 0.64). The average age ranged from 2 months to 3.5 years. Usually the first visible symptom is a white pupillary reflex, while the first clinical findings show that there is a tumorous formation in the fundus. A significant correlation between the age of the patient and the length of his survival was found by Fisher's test, as well as between the laboratory findings of tumor cells in the optical nerve incision and the length of survival.
