Popis: A 42-year-old woman, without a specific medical history presented at the Department of Emergency Ophthalmology accusing marked decrease of vision for the left eye (VA 1/ 100). The eye examination revealed an optic neuropathy with multiple retinal hemorrhages at the level of both eyes, but more acutely on the left eye. The brain computer tomography (CT) excluded the suspicion of increasing intracranial pressure. The common blood tests such as complete blood count (CBC), erythrocyte sedimentation rate, and inflammatory markers raised a high suspicion of a malignant haematological disease.
