Abstract

Graphic abstract

Ten to fifteen percent of children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) relapse following treatment. Of these, less than 2% display ophthalmic relapses, which owing to their scarcity, are largely undocumented, leaving clinicians with few diagnostic and therapeutic recommendations, despite serious functional sequelae. We conducted a French multicenter retrospective study to collect all clinical, radiological, biological, and therapeutic data, and outcomes for children with ALL ophthalmic relapses. From 2000 to 2020, 20 ophthalmic relapses occurring after first-line therapy performed before January 1st, 2017 were included in our study: 14 B-ALL and 6 T-ALL. Fifteen patients (75%) had concomitant involvement of the central nervous system, and 11 (55%) a combined bone marrow relapse. Only 1 had an isolated ophthalmic relapse. Eight children (40%) died, 7 from a refractory disease and 1 from toxic death, and 4 patients relapsed. With a median follow-up of 63.1 months, 8 patients are currently alive in continuous complete remission with only 2 displaying severe ophthalmic sequelae. Although rare, ophthalmic relapse could have a significant impact on the functional prognosis of survivors. Their management must be multidisciplinary, with a central role given to ophthalmologists.

Keywords: Childhood, ophthalmic relapse, ALL
