It is possible for neuroblastoma to metastasize to the eye.
Neuroblastoma is a malignant tumor that occurs in the sympathetic nerves and is most often seen in the pediatric stage. Neuroblastoma metastasizes early, and a significant number of children have metastasized to the eye by the time they are seen. Neuroblastoma can metastasize to the orbit, parts of the eyelid, and even the skin of the eye.
In the event of neuroblastoma metastasis to the eye, the child may experience symptoms such as orbital hemorrhage and a noticeable bulging of the eye. The child’s vision may be affected, and he or she may even have bleeding, large bruises, and petechiae on the skin of the eyelids, commonly known as panda eyes. A CT scan of the abdomen, adrenal glands or chest is needed to find the primary lesion and biopsy for a definitive diagnosis.
When your child develops neuroblastoma eye symptoms, you need to bring your child to the hospital in time, after a clear diagnosis, under the guidance of the doctor to actively carry out treatment.
