Abstract

We have experienced a rare case of bilateral retinoblastoma in identical twins recently. Their mother noticed that elder sister gazed upward when she fixated some object 5 days ago. On visiting here, we could find out retinoblastoma in both eyes by ophthalmoscopic examination, and younger sister had same fundus. Therefore we enucleated both eye balls of elder sister because of aggrevation of retinoblastoma. Retinoblastoma was confirmed pa thologically. We have been following up periodically younger sister.
