  • Title: [Ocular symptoms and leukemia in childhood].
    Author: Krebs W, Metz O, Plenert W.
    Journal: Klin Monbl Augenheilkd; 1982 Nov; 181(5):407-8. PubMed ID: 7162098.
    Abstract:
    Findings in a total of 200 children suffering from leukemia were evaluated. Ocular symptoms were found in 26% of the cases. Typically, fundus hemorrhages were found in the initial stage, leukemic infiltrates in the final stage and papilledema in the meningosis leucaemica stage. In patients with ophthalmologic changes the survival time was shorter than in patients with no ocular involvement. Ophthalmological "dispensaire" treatment is generally recommended.
