Abstract

MATEO, J.; ABARZUZA, R.; NUNEZ, E.  and  CRISTOBAL, J.A.. Bilateral optic nerve infiltration in acute lymphoblastic leukemia in remission. Arch Soc Esp Oftalmol [online]. 2007, vol.82, n.3, pp.167-170. ISSN 0365-6691.

Case report: An 18-year-old male affected by acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) after having reached complete remission after chemotherapy developed bilateral optic nerve infiltration. Discussion: Infiltration of the optic nerve may appear as an isolated sign of extramedullary relapse of ALL months in advance of the hematologic relapse.

Keywords : Leukemic infiltration; optic nerve; leukemia, lymphocytic, acute; remission induction; recurrence.
