Abstract
The authors report a rare unilateral iris and ciliary body relapse in acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Ophthalmologic examination showed reduced visual acuity, pseudohypopyon, and iris irregularity. Ultrasound biomicroscopy and aqueous humor cytology confirmed leukemic infiltration. Lesions were treated with intravitreal methotrexate, which has not been described previously for acute lymphoblastic leukemia. [J Pediatr Ophthalmol Strabismus. 2018;55:e16-e19.].
