Abstract | Purpose: To report combined central arterial and venous occlusions secondary to bilateral leukemic interfascicular optic nerve infiltration in a 56-year-old man. This was the sole presentation of a relapse in T/myeloid mixed-phenotype acute leukemia after 5 months of remission. Methods: Case report with clinical photography. Results: A 56-year-old man reported to be in complete remission of T/myeloid mixed-phenotype acute leukemia presented with sudden painless loss of vision in his left eye. Fundoscopy showed unilateral severe optic disk swelling with characteristic findings of a central retinal vein occlusion, namely, intraretinal and preretinal hemorrhages and cotton-wool spots, as well as the features of a central retinal artery occlusion resulting in a pale, edematous retina and a characteristic cherry-red spot. Blood analysis, cerebrospinal fluid evaluation, and bone marrow analysis were performed in combination with medical imaging. No evidence of leukemic relapse was found. An optic nerve biopsy was indicated because of decompensation of the contralateral eye and ultimately confirmed leukemic infiltration. Conclusion: Regardless of no hematological and nonspecific imaging findings, optic nerve biopsy may be crucial for clinical decision-making in a patient with acute complete vision loss and a history of leukemia. |
