A case of leukemic retinopathy mimicking common ischemic retinopathies
نویسندگان
چکیده
Reported case of leukemic retinopathy mimicking common ischemic retinopathies in a young adult where ophthalmic visit was the first step to the diagnosis of chronic myeloid leukemia. It highlights the importance of routine eye exams and that clinicians should suspect leukemia in an otherwise healthy patient presenting with ischemic retinopathy.

Ischemic Retinopathies: Oxidative Stress and Inflammation
Ischemic retinopathies (IRs), such as retinopathy of prematurity (ROP), diabetic retinopathy (DR), and (in many cases) age-related macular degeneration (AMD), are ocular disorders characterized by an initial phase of microvascular changes that results in ischemia, followed by a second phase of abnormal neovascularization that may culminate into retinal detachment and blindness. IRs are complex ...
متن کاملPotential role of microglia in retinal blood vessel formation.
PURPOSE The role of microglia, present in the retina early in development before vascularization, remains ill defined. The authors investigated whether microglia are implicated in retinal blood vessel formation. METHODS The microglia and vasculature of developing human fetal and rodent retinas were examined by labeling the endothelial cells with lectin and the microglia with CD18 antibody or ...
متن کاملCyclooxygenase-2 in human and experimental ischemic proliferative retinopathy.
BACKGROUND Intravitreal neovascular diseases, as in ischemic retinopathies, are a major cause of blindness. Because inflammatory mechanisms influence vitreal neovascularization and cyclooxygenase (COX)-2 promotes tumor angiogenesis, we investigated the role of COX-2 in ischemic proliferative retinopathy. METHODS AND RESULTS We describe here that COX-2 is induced in retinal astrocytes in human...
متن کاملMyeloid progenitors differentiate into microglia and promote vascular repair in a model of ischemic retinopathy.
Vision loss associated with ischemic diseases such as retinopathy of prematurity and diabetic retinopathy are often due to retinal neovascularization. While significant progress has been made in the development of compounds useful for the treatment of abnormal vascular permeability and proliferation, such therapies do not address the underlying hypoxia that stimulates the observed vascular grow...
متن کاملReduced retinal neovascularization, vascular permeability, and apoptosis in ischemic retinopathy in the absence of prolyl hydroxylase-1 due to the prevention of hyperoxia-induced vascular obliteration.
PURPOSE Prolyl hydroxylases (PHDs) are oxygen sensors that stabilize hypoxia-inducible factors (HIFs) to induce proinflammatory, vasopermeability, and proapoptotic factors. These may be potential targets to reduce the complications of ischemic retinopathies. METHODS Oxygen-induced ischemic retinopathy (OIR) was generated as a model for retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) by placing 7-day-old mic...
