B) Retinoblastoma
A classic presentation of retinoblastoma is leukocoria (white pupillary reflex), sometimes noted only in photos, in a toddler-age child. Other common findings include strabismus, nystagmus, and red eye. Leukocoria may also be the result of congenital cataract, corneal scarring, ocular toxocariasis, and Coats disease, a congenital abnormality of retinal blood vessels. Children with leukocoria should always be urgently referred to an ophthalmologist.
