• Infiltration of the optic nerve can be predicted by anterior chamber enhancement after intravenous MRI contrast agent administration. • Increased anterior chamber enhancement in retinoblastoma with optic nerve infiltration might result from dysfunction of the orbital glymphatic system with disturbance of retinal homeostasis and consecutive iris neovascularization.
