Abstract
Although chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is the most common leukemia in the Western world, neurologic complications arising from direct leukemic involvement of the nervous system are reported in only 1% of patients with CLL. Ocular involvement in CLL, direct or indirect, is less known and exceptionally rare. This case involves a 63-year-old female with CLL undergoing chemotherapy for a year, who recently presented with unusual eye movements in the horizontal plane (ocular flutter), resting and intentional tremors in the right upper and lower limbs, and intermittent jaw movements. With no established protocol for CLL with central nervous system involvement, collecting case data becomes crucial for determining optimal treatment and diagnostic approaches early on.
期刊介绍：
The journal has a clinical foundation and has been utilized most by clinical neurologists for improving the practice of neurology. While the focus is on neurology in India, the journal publishes manuscripts of high value from all parts of the world. Journal publishes reviews of various types, original articles, short communications, interesting images and case reports. The journal respects the scientific submission of its authors and believes in following an expeditious double-blind peer review process and endeavors to complete the review process within scheduled time frame. A significant effort from the author and the journal perhaps enables to strike an equilibrium to meet the professional expectations of the peers in the world of scientific publication. AIAN believes in safeguarding the privacy rights of human subjects. In order to comply with it, the journal instructs all authors when uploading the manuscript to also add the ethical clearance (human/animals)/ informed consent of subject in the manuscript. This applies to the study/case report that involves animal/human subjects/human specimens e.g. extracted tooth part/soft tissue for biopsy/in vitro analysis.
