Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Pediatric Oncology
  • Hematology

Background:

  • Acute leukemia is a significant health concern in children.
  • Ocular manifestations can occur in pediatric patients with leukemia.
  • The eye represents a unique site for potential disease progression or treatment complications.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the prevalence and characteristics of ocular involvement in children with acute leukemia.
  • To determine the relationship between hematologic parameters and ocular findings.
  • To highlight the importance of ophthalmologic evaluations in the management of pediatric acute leukemia.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of 84 children diagnosed with acute leukemia.
  • Ophthalmologic examinations were conducted to detect ocular abnormalities.
  • Correlation analysis was performed between ocular findings, platelet counts, and hematocrit values.

Main Results:

  • Ocular involvement was identified in 36 out of 84 pediatric patients (42.9%).
  • Retinal hemorrhage was the most frequent ocular manifestation observed.
  • No significant correlation was found between the occurrence of retinal hemorrhages and platelet counts or hematocrit levels.

Conclusions:

  • Ocular complications are common in children with acute leukemia, with retinal hemorrhages being a primary concern.
  • Hematologic parameters like platelet count and hematocrit do not reliably predict the presence of ocular hemorrhages.
  • Comprehensive ophthalmologic evaluations are essential for the comprehensive management and treatment planning of pediatric acute leukemia patients.
