A 20-year-old man with a history of pre-B cell acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL) presented with optic perineuritis of the right eye while undergoing chemotherapy. Evaluation failed to reveal an infectious or neoplastic cause, and the patient improved with oral corticosteroid treatment. He returned 10 weeks later with complete loss of vision in the right eye. Optic nerve biopsy revealed leukemic infiltration of the optic nerve, and the patient was treated for central nervous system (CNS) relapse of ALL. Transient optic perineuritis may be the initial manifestation of CNS involvement of pre-B cell ALL.
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 08 March 2013.
All research outputs
#20,657,128
of 25,374,917 outputs
Outputs from Journal of Neuro-Ophthalmology
#1,323
of 1,852 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#156,684
of 206,481 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Journal of Neuro-Ophthalmology
#13
of 21 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,374,917 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 10th percentile – i.e., 10% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 1,852 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 3.0. This one is in the 15th percentile – i.e., 15% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 206,481 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 12th percentile – i.e., 12% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 21 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 9th percentile – i.e., 9% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
