Abstract
Pediatric neurologist usually is the first physician in a child with cranial nerve palsy and bulging fontanel should be consulted to examine the cause of increased intracranial pressure. In this article we report a child with chronic myelogenous leukemia(CML) for the one time that presented with 7 cranial nerve palsy and bulging fontanel and leukemic infiltration of the central nervous system. In this patient chromosomal study and peripheral blood smear confirmed the diagnosis. unfortunately the child eventually died.
