Isolated leukemic iritis in a child with acute lymphogenous leukemia can present as a pseudohypopyon. This finding, though rare, is crucial for detecting relapse and guiding treatment.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Pediatric Oncology
  • Hematology

Background:

  • Acute lymphogenous leukemia (ALL) requires vigilant monitoring for extramedullary relapse.
  • Ocular manifestations of leukemia can be subtle and mimic other conditions.

Observation:

  • A pediatric ALL patient in hematological remission developed isolated leukemic iritis and secondary glaucoma.
  • Characteristic stratification of hyphema was observed, forming a pseudohypopyon after prolonged sitting.

Findings:

  • The pseudohypopyon, composed of settled leukemic cells, is a diagnostically significant sign.
  • Anterior chamber paracentesis with cytologic examination is essential for confirming leukemic etiology.

Implications:

  • Isolated leukemic iritis can be an early indicator of relapse in ALL patients.
  • Prompt diagnosis necessitates reinstitution of induction therapy to manage extramedullary disease.
