Abstract
Purpose: Ocular complications can be seen in patients with multiple myeloma which is the prototype of plasma cell neoplasms that originates from the bone marrow. Hyperviscosity syndrome can rarely be a component of multiple myeloma and when associated with it, central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO) can be the result of this situation. In this article, possible causes of CRVO in a 52- year-old man with Immunglobulin A type multiple myeloma are discussed and the relation between multiple myeloma, hyperviscosity syndrome and CRVO is evaluated.
Özet
Amaç: Kemik iliğinden köken alan, plazma hücreli tümörlerin bir tipi olan multipl myelom, oküler komplikasyonlarla beraber görülebilir. Hiperviskozite sendromu, multipl myelomun nadir bir komponenti olup santral retinal ven oklüzyonuna (SRVO) sebep olabilir. Bu olgu sunumunda 52 yaşında, Immunglobulin A tipi multipl myelom tanısı almış hastada SRVO'nun olası sebepleri tartışıldı, multipl myelom, hiperviskozite sendromu ve SRVO arasındaki ilişki irdelendi.
