Acute Myeloid Leukaemia Presenting as Gaze Palsy
The most frequent initial ocular manifestation of acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) is retinal involvement. Here, we report an unusual case of AML associated with a pontine chloroma presenting with gaze palsy as the initial symptom. A 77-year-old Caucasian man presented to the Eye Casualty complaining of a one-day history of blurred vision. On examination, his face was turned to the left, both eyes...

متن کاملSeptic shock caused by group G beta-haemolytic streptococci as presenting symptom of acute myeloid leukaemia.
A patient with rapidly fatal septic shock caused by group G beta-haemolytic streptococci as presenting symptom of acute myeloid leukaemia is presented. Although the association of septic shock due to Group G beta-haemolytic streptococci and different kinds of malignancy is known, presentation of acute myeloid leukaemia in this form is rare.
متن کاملBilateral Serous Retinal Detachment as a Presenting Sign of Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia
We present a case of bilateral serous retinal detachment (SRD) as a presenting sign of Philadelphia chromosome-positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia (Ph(+) ALL). A 45-year-old woman presented with decreased vision and was found to have bilateral serous retinal detachment. Peripheral blood smears revealed leukocytosis of 53.9x10(3)/microL with 64.6% lymphoblasts. A bone marrow aspirate revealed ...
متن کاملThe onset of pigment epithelial proliferation after retinal detachment.
The adult mammalian retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) is mitotically inactive, yet retains the capacity to proliferate under certain conditions. To determine the onset of RPE proliferation after retinal detachment, we examined experimentally detached cat retinas of 12, 24, 48, and 72 hr duration. An additional animal served as a nondetached, sham-operated control. 3H-thymidine was injected into ...
