[Bilateral optic nerve infiltration in acute lymphoblastic leukemia in remission].
METHODS
An 18-year-old male affected by acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) after having reached complete remission after chemotherapy developed bilateral optic nerve infiltration.


CONCLUSIONS
Infiltration of the optic nerve may appear as an isolated sign of extramedullary relapse of ALL months in advance of the hematologic relapse.
