Abstract:
Neurological manifestations occur in about one-quarter of patients with chronic myelogenous leukaemia (CML), usually as a result of hyperleukocytosis, predisposing to intravascular thrombus formation. We report the clinical and pathological findings in a 16-year-old female with CML who presented with deafness, blindness and paraplegia, and discuss possible aetiopathogenetic mechanism.
