Myelogenous leukemia and bilateral exudative retinal detachment.
A 47-year-old woman with a diagnosis of myelogenous leukemia presented with poor vision secondary to bilateral exudative retinal detachments. Chemotherapy improved her leukemia status and her vision improved but her retinal pigment epithelium became diffusely mottled and irregular, presumably because of a toxic effect from the exudative subretinal fluid. Clinical and fluorescein findings are presented.
