    Leukemic ophthalmopathy involves ocular and central nervous system issues. Visual disturbance stems from neoplastic infiltration and vascular problems, impacting the optic nerve and brain.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Neurology
    • Hematology
    • Pathology

    Background:

    • Leukemic ophthalmopathy is a rare complication of leukemia.
    • Understanding the ocular manifestations and their underlying mechanisms is crucial for patient management.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the clinicopathological features of leukemic ophthalmopathy.
    • To elucidate the relationship between ocular and central nervous system involvement.
    • To determine the primary causes of visual disturbances and papilledema in these cases.

    Main Methods:

    • Clinicopathological study of 7 cases of leukemic ophthalmopathy.
    • Correlation of ocular findings with central nervous system involvement.

    Main Results:

    • Ocular manifestations were found to be parallel with central nervous system involvement.
    • Visual disturbances were primarily caused by neoplastic infiltration of the optic nerve parenchyma, nerve fiber compression, and vascular issues.
    • Papilledema and disc swelling were mainly attributed to neoplastic infiltration of the optic nerve and/or central nervous system.

    Conclusions:

    • Leukemic ophthalmopathy exhibits a strong correlation between ocular and central nervous system disease.
    • Neoplastic infiltration and vascular disturbances are key factors in visual impairment.
    • Optic nerve and CNS infiltration are the primary drivers of papilledema in leukemic ophthalmopathy.
