Bilateral Subhyaloid Hemorrhage in Acute Myeloid Leukemia: One Case Report of Treatment

ABSTRACT

The ocular manifestations of leukemia include leukemic infiltration in optic nerve, retina, choroid, iris, ciliary body and anterior chamber, as well as retinal vascular change and hemorrhage due to systemic hemodynamic abnormalities.Occasionaly, subhyaloid hemorrhage involving the macula may cause acute loss of central visual acuity. We observed dense bilateral macular subhyaloid hemorrhage in 19-year-old man who had been diagnosed to have acute myeloid leukemia.Trans pars plana vitrectomy was performed in his both eyes, resulting in improvement of vision.
