A case of isolated intraocular recurrence of acute lymphoblastic leukemia

Abstract

The development of diagnostic and therapeutic capabilities in hematology contributed to a growth in survival rate in patients with acute leukemia and to the increase in number of different ocular conditions as rare signs of hemoblastosis recurrence and treatment’s side effects. We observed a female patient with extramedullar leukemic ocular damage in acute lymphoblastic leukemia. It is noteworthy that the process of ocular involvement into the underlying disease occurred on the background of complete confirmed hematologic remission.
