Abstract :
When a child presents with cranial nerve palsy and a bulging fontanel,
a pediatric neurologist is often consulted to determine the cause of
increased intracranial pressure. This report describes an infant with chronic
myelogenous leukemia (CML) referred to Ali-bin-Abitaleb Hospital,
Zahedan, eastern Iran in 2013 who presented with seventh cranial nerve
palsy and bulging fontanel. Chromosomal analysis and peripheral blood
smear confirmed the diagnosis of CML.
