Résumé
Retinal manifestations have been described as an inaugural manifestation of acute leukemia. Retinal hemorrhage, and in particular white-centered hemorrhages are among the most frequently observed signs. We report here the case of a 34-year-old Caucasian man with no medical history who presented to our emergency department with a decrease in visual acuity associated with asthenia. Ophthalmological examination revealed bilateral white-centered hemorrhages. The etiological assessment confirmed the diagnosis of acute myeloid leukemia. Whenever Roth spots are found in fundus examination, a complete ophthalmological examination along with a wide etiological investigation must be conducted.
