| Popis: | A 31-year-old woman, diagnosed and treated for acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) type M2, complained of blurred vision and general deterioration in vital signs in her fourth week of hospitalization for induction chemotherapy. Her ophthalmologic examination revealed bilateral serous macular detachment. Despite immediate institution of salvage therapy for refractory disease, extensive intraretinal and preretinal hemorrhages developed in both eyes. Three weeks after reinstitution of chemotherapy, the patient deceased. Bilateral serous macular detachment is rarely an ocular manifestation of AML. This may be a sign of leukemic infiltration of the choroid and worsening of the clinical symptoms. (Turk J Ophthalmol 2014; 44: 151-3) |
