Abstract

An 11-year-old child presented with plastic iridocyclitis and hypopyon. Subsequent paracentesis revealed leukemic infiltrates. A bone marrow biopsy confirmed the diagnosis of acute lymphocytic leukemia. Because of this unusual case of leukemic hypopyon, we advocate anterior chamber paracentesis and pediatrician referral in all cases of refractory uveitis.
