| Description |
Leukemia is typically treated using a combination of chemotherapy, radiotherapy and stem cell transplantation. Whilst it is rare for leukemia to present with ocular involvement, recurrence may present in the brain and optic nerve. Whole body irradiation before stem cell transplantation may be protective against optic nerve recurrence (1). Historically, the outcomes of optic nerve recurrence are variable and standard treatment indications and protocols are lacking (1). |
