Abstract:

Bilateral exudative retinal detachment is rarely seen as an ocular manifestation of acute myelogenous leukaemia. Herein, a case is described where a trans-scleral choroidal biopsy was used to diagnose relapsing acute myelogenous leukaemia when the rest of her systemic work-up was negative.

Keywords: choroidal biopsy; leukaemia; retinal detachment
