Retinoblastoma (RB) is the most common intraocular malignancy of childhood. Advanced stage presentation of RB is common in low middle-income countries (LMICs) due to lack of awareness, social taboos associated with enucleation, seeking alternative conservative treatment options, and poor accessibility to health care. Over the last few decades, there have been significant advancements in the management of extraocular RB (EORB) which have improved outcomes and helped in minimizing treatment-related toxicities. The incorporation of multimodality approaches including chemotherapy, surgery, and radiotherapy (RT) has shown promising results; however, prognosis remains poor especially in LMICs. In this article, authors have discussed the ICMR consensus guidelines on the management of EORB, including metastatic RB.

Immune-mediated demyelination is a rare posttransplant complication. Here, we report an 8.5-year-old boy who developed left hemiparesis, 18 months post matched sibling donor hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) for relapsed acute myeloid leukemia and was diagnosed to have tumefactive demyelination. The diagnosis was established based on clinical and radiological features. The complete resolution of the lesions with steroids further established the immune-mediated pathophysiology.
