Abstract

By means of modern chemotherapy methods in ALL, isolated ocular relapse occurs rarely during maintenance therapy. Relapses occur in humour aqueous where chemotherapeutics are unsuccessful to penetrate in and come out with leukocyte accumulation in anterior chamber. No relapse is reported in a child patient with bilateral exudative retinal detachment, during maintenance therapy. Case: A 3.5 years old child patient with ALL came out with visual lost and strabismus in fifteenth month of maintenance therapy. He had bilateral exudative retinal detachment. The diagnose was confirmed with B-scan ultrasonography, orbital MR and CT. There was no blast in humour aqueous aspiration and there was no relapse in CNS and bone marrow. After two months, painful glaucoma developed in both eyes and consolidation therapy was carried out. No improvement occurred in detachment end the patient was died because of neutropenic sepsis at the end of the third month. There were 700 PNL in 1 mm<sup>3</sup> cerebospinal fluid in post-mortem LP. The family of the patient disapproved post-mortem pathological study. This case shows that bilateral exudative retinal detachment can occur in childhood ALL.

Özet

Akut lenfoblastik lösemide (ALL) modern kemoterapi yöntemlerinin kullanılması ile birlikte idame döneminde çok nadiren izole oküler relaps görülmektedir. Relapslar kemoterapötiklerin iyi geçmediği humor aközde daha sıklıkla görülmekte ve ön kamarada lökosit birikintisi ile kendini göstermektedir. İdame döneminde çocuk hastalarda eksudatif dekolman ile relaps bildirilmemiştir. Vaka: 3,5 yaşında akut lenfoblastik lösemi tanısı alan hasta idame tedavisinin 15. ayında her iki gözde görme kaybı ve göz kayması şikayeti oluştu. Muayenesinde her iki gözde eksudatif retina dekolmanı teşhis edildi. B-scan ultrasonografi, orbital MR ve CT ile tanı doğrulandı. Ön kamara mayii aspirasyonunda blast yoktu, santral sinir sistemi ve kemik iliği relapsı yoktu. İki gözde de 2 ay sonra ağrılı glokom gelişti ve hastaya konsolidasyon tedavisi yapıldı. Dekolmanda gerileme olmadı ve 3. ayın sonunda nötropenik sepsis ile hasta kaybedildi. Postmortem beyin omurilik sıvısında 700 mm 3 polimorf nükleer lökosit (PNL) vardı. Postmortem patolojik incelemeyi aile kabul etmedi. Vakamız, çocukluk çağı ALL sinde nadirde olsa bilateral eksudatif retina dekolmanının gelişebildiğim göstermektedir.
