Abstract

Objective To observe the fundus characteristics and changes of patients with intraocular lymphoma after chemotherapy. Methods A retrospective analysis of 11 patients (15 eyes) with intraocular lymphoma who were treated in the Department of Ophthalmology of the First Center of Chinese PLA General Hospital from January 2015 to December 2021 involved 7 males and 4 females, ranging in age from 47 to 67, with an average age of 55.9. Results Eleven patients (11 eyes) were diagnosed with lymphoma at other sites combined with intraocular lymphoma. After local chemotherapy or combined systemic treatment, ocular lymphoma has a good atrophy effect, and no central nervous system involvement has been observed so far. Chemotherapy-related retinopathy occurred in 7 patients (7 eyes) and optic neuropathy in 7 patients (9 eyes) within 2 years. No progressive changes were observed in fundus for 1 year after symptomatic treatment, and the condition was stable. Three patients (6 eyes) were diagnosed with lymphoma at other sites and received chemotherapy. Chemotherapy-associated optic neuropathy and chemotherapy-associated retinopathy were diagnosed within 1 year. The patients were followed up for 1 year after symptomatic treatment. Fundus lesions did not progress and the condition was stable. One patient (1 eye) developed idiopathic retinal hemorrhage in one eye within 1 year after diagnosis of lymphoma elsewhere and received chemotherapy. Symptomatic ophthalmologic treatment was given. During the 1-year follow-up, the fundus lesions did not progress and the condition was stable. Conclusions The incidence of chemotherapeutic optic neuroretinopathy is very high in patients with systemic lymphoma combined with intraocular lymphoma, whether receiving intraocular chemotherapy or intraocular chemotherapy combined with systemic chemotherapy. Eye and systemic symptomatic treatment can stabilize or slow down the occurrence and progression of the fundus lesions and reduce central nervous involvement.
