ABSTRACT
The aim of this study was to evaluate intraocular pressure (IOP) associated with use of glucocorticoids in children and adolescents treated for acute lymphoblastic leukemia and non-Hodgkin lymphoma. We carried out a prospective descriptive study with measurement of IOP before treatment (D0), 8th (D8), 14th (D14), and 28 h days (D28) of treatment. We examined 12 patients, with two cases of ocular hypertension, and it was found a statistically significant difference between the means of IOP between D0 versus D8 and D0 versus D14 (P = 0.013). The possibility of silent ocular hypertension with irreversible blindness indicates the need of IOP verification.
