Abstract
The authors describe leukemic retinopathy with foveal leukemic infiltrates as the presenting feature of chronic myeloid leukemia. Spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) features of leukemic foveal infiltrates are presented. Though the retinopathy resolved with remission of disease, visual recovery was not complete due to loss of ellipsoid zone on SD-OCT.
