Abstract

Acute lymphoblastic leukemia is the most common hematological malignancy in childhood. Common presenting symptoms are persistent fever, progressive pallor, bleeding, weight loss, bone pains and joint symptoms. We report a child with acute lymphoblastic leukemia who presented multiple cranial palsies and cerebral sinovenous thrombosis. As a result, we advise a careful neurological examination for every outpatient. This approach will undoubtedly reveal severe neurological findings due to serious diseases.
