Case report reveals unilateral pseudohypopyon as an ocular symptom of acute lymphoblastic leukemia, indicating relapse in a pediatric patient.
Ocular symptoms are one of the many different ways in which leukemia can present clinically. We report a case of unilateral pseudohypopyon as an ocular presentation of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) in a pediatric patient. Anterior chamber paracentesis was performed in a four-year-old female child presenting with decreased vision in the left eye and an inferior cold pseudohypopyon tinged with blood, who had been previously treated with six cycles of chemotherapy. Examination of the anterior chamber aspirate revealed the presence of malignant lymphoblast cells. This indicates relapse of ALL in children.
