Abstrakt: A recent study conducted at Nationwide Children's Hospital in Columbus, Ohio, focused on a rare occurrence in lymphoblastic leukemia (LBL) called isolated optic nerve (ON) relapse. The study examined the case of a 10-year-old boy with T-LBL who presented with blurred vision and thickening of the right ON, indicating relapse. The patient received reinduction chemotherapy, craniospinal radiation, and a bone marrow transplant, and is currently in remission with normal vision. The study emphasizes the importance of early detection of ON relapse for disease control. [Extracted from the article]
