Abstract :
Ocular involvement during acute leukemia is
the third most common extra-medullary localization
after meningeal and testicular localizations. It is
considered a poor prognostic factor because of the
increased risk of relapse in the bone marrow and/or
meninges. In this presentation, two cases of children
followed for acute lymphoblastic leukemia, who
presented during maintenance treatment with bilateral
hypopyon. The treatment consisted of systemic and
intrarachid chemotherapy, associated with local
corticosteroids, to be followed rapidly by ocular
radiotherapy.
