    Abstract:
    A 40-year-old woman with acute lymphoblastic leukemia had a visual disturbance OD. The optic disc was slightly swollen in the right fundus, and blast cells in the cerebrospinal fluid were found. Radiotherapy to the brain and orbit resolved these findings. Five months later, visual acuity decreased OS. Radiotherapy also was effective in treating the leukemic involvement of the optic nerve.
