- Abstract
Neurological symptoms such as ptosis may develop due to either chemotherapeutic agents or involvement of the central nervous system ( CNS) during hematologic malignancy. It is difficult to make this distinction according to clinical symptoms and magnetic resonance imaging findings. If the neurologic symptoms are increased, it is a warning of CNS involvement. Herein are described the clinical and neuroimaging features of three patients with hematologic malignancy who presented with ptosis.
