Retinal complications of bone marrow and solid organ transplantation
1Cullen Eye Institute, Baylor College of Medicine, Houston, Texas 77030, USA.
Purpose Of Review:
A review is presented of the current literature on retinal complications of bone marrow and solid organ transplantation.
Recent Findings:
Retinal complications of bone marrow and solid organ transplantation include microvascular retinopathy, infection, and hemorrhagic findings. Other clinical observations include central serous chorioretinopathy, bilateral optic disc edema, and cyclosporine-related retinal toxicity. The cause of these clinical findings is likely to be multifactorial, resulting from the combined effects of cyclosporine, total body irradiation, infections, high-dose chemotherapy, and recurrent malignancies.
Summary:
Understanding of these clinical entities of the posterior segment is important in minimizing the potentially sight-threatening complications from bone marrow and solid organ transplantation.
