Abstract
- The ocular manifestations of leukemic retinopathy can be divided into secondary manifestations due to hemorrhage and macular edema, and direct manifestations of leukemic infiltration. Case reports about leukemic infiltration of the optic nerve head are rare. We have experienced a case of leukemic retinopathy in a 16-year-old girl. She visited to our hospital due to sudden decrease of visual acutiy on both eyes and confirmed acute lymphocytic leukemia on bone marrow biopsy. In addition to macular edema and hemorrhage due to secondary manifestations of leukocytosis, there were sheathing noted about retinal arterioles, and disc edema were present on both eyes which seems to be the optic nerve head infiltration of leukemic cells.
