Camera flash reveals cancer in toddler’s eye
Camera flash saves the life of a 4-month-old baby after pictures show "white glow" in the toddler’s eye.
"I just chalked it up to a bad camera phone," said the child’s mother, but after using a new camera, the “white glow was still there” so I took him to the doctor, ABC NEWS reported on Saturday.
After medical examination it was found that Ryder had retinoblastoma – a tumor mass growing in the back of his left-eye causing the camera flashes to reflect and produce the glow seen in pictures.
After the discovery, the child was taken to a cancer center which specializes in retinoblastoma, where they found out that the tumor had not yet spread to the infant's other organs.
"Worldwide, 50 percent of the children who had retinoblastoma last year died," said Dr. David H. Abramson, chief of the Ophthalmic Oncology Service at Memorial Sloan Kettering center.
"It's one of those cancers that can be fatal if not detected early, so it's great that his mom noticed it early and got it checked out," he added.
Retinoblastoma is a rare type of cancer which develops in the immature cells of the retina, the light-detecting tissue of the eye, and is usually only found in young children.
