Leukemic retinopathy is a severe complication of severe leukocytosis that results from untreated chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML). Immediate cytoreduction via leukapheresis may reverse ocular manifestations and prevent permanent vision damage. We present a case of a patient with acute unilateral vision loss found to have leukemic retinopathy in the setting of untreated CML with improvement of visual symptoms after leukapheresis and initiation of hydroxyurea.
白血病视网膜病变是未经治疗的慢性粒细胞白血病(CML)导致的严重白细胞增多症的一种严重并发症。通过白细胞去除术立即进行细胞数量减少可能会逆转眼部表现并防止永久性视力损害。我们报告一例急性单侧视力丧失的患者,该患者在未经治疗的CML背景下被发现患有白血病视网膜病变,在进行白细胞去除术并开始使用羟基脲后视觉症状有所改善。
