We report a case of relapsed sporadic Burkitt lymphoma (BL) presenting as an isolated infiltrative optic neuropathy. This is a single-patient, retrospective case report of a patient seen by the ophthalmology service at our institution. To our knowledge, our case is the first to report isolated infiltrative optic neuropathy associated with sporadic BL as the sole manifestation of recurrence. The possibility of disease relapse should be considered for patients with a history of lymphoreticular malignancy who present with acute visual symptoms suggestive of optic neuropathy.
我们报告了一例复发性散发性伯基特淋巴瘤(BL),表现为孤立性浸润性视神经病变。这是一份关于我院眼科诊治的一名患者的单病例回顾性报告。据我们所知,我们的病例是首例报告与散发性BL相关的孤立性浸润性视神经病变作为复发的唯一表现。对于有淋巴网状恶性肿瘤病史且出现提示视神经病变的急性视觉症状的患者,应考虑疾病复发的可能性。
