Pediatr Emerg Care. 2018 Aug;34(8):599-601. doi: 10.1097/PEC.0000000000001575.

Abstract

An 18-month-old girl presented to the emergency department with the chief complaint of squinting. The right eye demonstrated esotropia, heterochromia, and anisocoria. Ocular point-of-care ultrasound facilitated the rapid diagnosis of retinoblastoma, which was confirmed by computed tomography scan and orbital magnetic resonance imaging.
