Bilateral Central Retinal Artery Occlusion Associated with Bilateral Lymphoproliferative Infiltrative Optic NeuropathyDOI: 10.1159/000458414 Keywords: Central retinal artery occlusion, Optic nerve infiltration, Burkitt lymphoma, Leukemic central nervous system infiltration, Post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorder, Case report Abstract: Leukemic infiltration of the optic nerve is relatively rare. While previously described in acute leukemia, the infiltration in our case represents central nervous system (CNS) metastasis of Burkitt-type lymphoma that developed as a complication of solid-organ transplantation, resulting in a bilateral infiltrative optic neuropathy with sequential, bilateral central retinal artery occlusion (CRAO) and devastating vision loss
