| pubmed-article:11965121 | pubmed:abstractText | Orbital and ocular lesions are the third most frequent extramedullar locations of acute leukemia after the meninges and testicles. These lesions are treated as a central nervous system lesion; therefore diagnosis is essential to therapeutic adjustment. We present a retrospective study on charts of children treated for acute leukemia between 1996 and 1998. Ophthalmic examination was carried out when there were ocular symptoms. One hundred ninety-six children were treated for acute leukemia. Twelve children (6.1%) had an ocular and orbital lesion: 7 boys and 5 girls, with an average age of 6 years. Six had acute lymphoblastic leukemia, 6 had acute myeloid leukemia. Visual acuity was 1/10 in 9 children. Four children had an initial orbital lesion with a rapidly progressing exophthalmos. The hemogram and myelogram showed a granulocytic sarcoma. Two children who had been previously treated for acute leukemia presented a bilateral anterior uveitis with hypopyon; anterior chamber paracentesis showed blast cells and confirmed the ocular relapse. A corneal lesion was found in 2 children and in 2 cases, the optic nerve had edema; a decrease in visual acuity was the sign of the optic nerve lesion. Two patients had retinal infiltration with hemorrhages in the posterior pole. Prophylaxis consists of intrathecal injection of methotrexate and reinforcement of chemotherapy. Central nervous system irradiation is seldom used in children. Orbital and ocular lesions carry a poor prognosis according to the majority of authors. Two years after diagnosis of the ocular lesions, only 1 of the children studied remains alive. | lld:pubmed |
