Abstract

Ocular manifestations may serve as the primary indicator of underlying hematological malignancies. We report the case of a 23-year-old male who presented with sudden visual loss and was subsequently diagnosed with Chronic Myeloid Leukemia (CML) following characteristic fundus findings. This case emphasizes the crucial role of the ophthalmologist in detecting life-threatening systemic disease and demonstrates how retinal findings can mirror systemic disease activity and response to treatment.

Keywords:Chronic Myeloid Leukemia (CML); Leukemic retinopathy; Roth spots; Flame-shaped hemorrhages; BCR-ABL1
