Abstract
Concurrent occurrence of retinoblastoma and ocular anomalies is rare. We present a case of retinoblastoma and morning glory disc anomaly in a baby. Both conditions had leukocoria in each eye, which was noted at different stages of the clinical evaluation. Although our patient did not have other associated features, this scenario requires distinct multi- disciplinary approach for management of each of the conditions and any accompanying clinical conditions.
