Аннотация
BACKGROUND: Optic neuropathy in the context of leukemia and lymphoma raises concern for central nervous system involvement or relapse and warrants prompt evaluation and treatment. To date, a gold standard for the diagnosis and management of leukemic optic neuropathy has yet to be established.
METHODS: Case series and review of the literature. Two illustrative cases were selected to discuss their treatment course and outcome.
RESULTS: We report 7 cases of patients with leukemia or lymphoma presenting with optic nerve infiltration. All patients received steroid therapy for presumed infiltrative optic neuropathy, and 4 patients underwent radiation therapy. Along with systemic chemotherapy, all patients received intrathecal chemotherapy except one. Three patients received chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy.
CONCLUSIONS: Leukemic and lymphomatous optic neuropathy is difficult to diagnose and treat, and there is no gold standard for diagnosis or treatment in the current literature. We help clarify how this disease should be approached in a multidisciplinary fashion and on an individual basis to correctly diagnose and treat the vision loss, while considering the patient's long-term prognosis based on their systemic disease.
