Abstract

A patient presenting with intraocular hemorrhage at 4 weeks of life was suspected of having sustained a nonaccidental injury. Juvenile chronic myelogenous leukemia (JCML) was diagnosed, and subsequently the patient developed the signs of neurofibromatosis. There is an association between the two conditions, but the poor prognosis from JCML may mean that evolving neurofibromatosis is overlooked, particularly if a family history of the disease is not obtained.
