[Ocular changes in children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia].

L M Miroshnikova, T I Savvina

    Oftalmologicheskii Zhurnal
    |January 1, 1989
    PubMed
    Summary

    Children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia experience eye changes, including disturbed blood flow in conjunctival vessels, especially during disease recurrence. Treatment with antiaggregants and angioprotectors improved ocular microcirculation.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Pediatric Hematology
    • Oncology

    Context:

    • Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is a common childhood cancer.
    • Ocular complications can arise during various stages of ALL.
    • Understanding these changes is crucial for comprehensive patient care.

    Purpose:

    • To investigate the occurrence and nature of eye changes in children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia.
    • To assess the impact of disease recurrence on ocular microcirculation.
    • To evaluate the therapeutic effect of specific treatments on these eye changes.

    Summary:

    • Children diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) exhibit ocular alterations throughout the disease's progression.
    • Biomicroscopy revealed impaired blood flow within conjunctival vessels, more pronounced in patients experiencing ALL relapses.
    • Administration of antiaggregants, angioprotectors, and general therapy positively modulated the microcirculation in ocular vessels.

    Impact:

    • Early detection of specific eye changes in ALL patients can enhance overall diagnosis.
    • Targeted ocular assessments may lead to improved diagnostic accuracy and additional therapeutic strategies.
    • Monitoring ocular microcirculation provides insights into disease status and treatment efficacy in pediatric ALL.
