Neurological Manifestation of Haematological Disorders

Opening of the article

Haematological disorders can present in the setting of acute and chronic neurological symptomatology through a myriad mechanisms. They may affect the vascularity by generating a hyperviscous and prothrombotic state leading to stroke like events- arterial or venous. Bleeds can also be a part of the spectrum due to platelet dysfunction or altered coagulation status. Cranial nerves, optic nerve in particular may be affected due to raised intracranial pressure (ICP), venous congestion or due to direct infiltration in haematological malignancies.
