Leukocoria - loss of the red reflex
Dx - Retinoblastoma
Ddx - congenital cataract
Choroid coloboma
Retinopathy of Prematurity
Coats disease
Endopthalmitis (toxo).
Red reflexes should be tested on babies on fully dilated pupils. One drop of mydriacyl in each eye and the doctor should re-examine after some time. If the reflex is still white, it's possibly retinoblastoma as the light is reflecting from the tumour’s white surface.
