ABSTRACT
The ophthalmic presentation of relapse in a patient with human T-lymphotropic virus type 1 (HTLV1) associated adult T-cell lymphoma leukaemia is described. Epidemiology, clinical features and therapeutic options are briefly reviewed. Antenatal screening and inclusion of HTLV1 in the differential diagnosis of inflammatory and neuromuscular eye conditions should be considered in endemic regions.
