Unilateral Ptosis - An Unusual Initial Presentation of Acute Myeloid Leukaemia in an Adolescent Girl
Journal Title: Journal of Advanced Research in Medicine - Year 2019, Vol 6, Issue 1
Abstract
In case of acute myeloid leukaemia (AML), there is increased multiplication of blast cells forming the malignant clones of immature myeloid cells in the bone marrow in different body tissues and also enormously carried by blood. Here, we report an 18-year-old adolescent girl who presented with unilateral ptosis. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of brain showed right orbital anteromedial mass. Bone marrow examination showed myeloblasts and metamyelocytes suggestive of AML. Patient was started on chemotherapy but could not survive the infections during the hospital stay
