Leukemia retinopathy

Fundus changes caused by leukemia are called leukemic retinopathy. Leukemia patients contain a large number of immature immature cells that can cause fundus changes. It is a spontaneous and progressive proliferation of one or more white blood cell components, with extensive infiltration of bone marrow and other organs, leading to normal hematopoietic failure disorders. Especially in the acute type, it is typically characterized by swollen retinal veins, tortuous segments or salami, and accompanied by a white sheath. At the same time, there was bleeding and exudation in the fundus. According to statistics, there are 1011 to 1012 cancer cells in one leukemia patient.
