Bilateral Acute Proptosis With Papilledema and Sub-retinal Fluid As Initial Manifestations of Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia in a Child

Abstract

A five-year-old boy presented with bilateral acute proptosis, papilledema, and sub-retinal fluid. Notably, choroidal thickening exceeded 600 microns. These ocular findings were the initial manifestations of acute lymphoblastic leukemia. This case underscores the importance of recognizing uncommon ocular presentations in pediatric leukemia for timely diagnosis and management.
