Recurring bilateral hypopyon in chronic myeloid leukemia in blastic transformation. A case report.
There have been many reports in the literature on keratohypopyon in acute leukemia. We report a case of a 40-year-old-man with chronic myeloid leukemia who developed bilateral, recurring kerato-hypopyon, the first manifestation of which appeared during intrathecal chemotherapeutic treatment just after an episode of leukemic meningiosis. There was no involvement of the CNS at the time of the relapse of kerato-hypopyon.
