Abstract
We report a case who presented with bilateral serous retinal detachment (SRD) as the initial sign of Philadelphia chromosome-positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia (Ph+ ALL). A 49-year-old female presented with blurred vision. A colored fundus image of the patient revealed SRD around the posterior pole’s optic disc. Bone marrow aspiration showed infiltration with lymphoblasts. The patient was diagnosed with Ph+ ALL. SRD regressed in the color fundus image of the patient after induction chemotherapy and intrathecal methotrexate. The patient’s visual symptoms completely regressed. In conclusion, acute leukemia should be considered in the differential diagnosis of cases presenting with SRD.
