A white pupil, also known as leukocoria or a "cat's eye reflex," is a common finding in children with retinoblastoma. The tumor can obstruct the normal red reflex that is seen when light is shone into the eye, resulting in a white pupil instead. Yellow or blue-tinged sclera and a red reflex are not typically associated with this condition.
