Abstract
Eye involvement in chronic myeloid leukemia is well known. The signs are infiltration of the choroid, the sclera, the episclera, the conjunctiva and the optic nerve. Eye involvement is more common in acute than in chronic forms of leukemia. This paper reports a case of chronic myeloid leukemia in which optic nerve involvement was the only initial sign of the disease.Entities:
