[Papilledema and POEMS syndrome]

A new case of optic disk swelling associated with POEMS syndrome is described. This is a rare disease, but it should be suspected in cases of bilateral optic disk swelling when defining systemic components are present: polyneuropathy (P), organomegaly (O), endocrinopathy (E), monoclonal component (M) and skin changes (S). Usually visual acuity is maintained. However, loss of vision secondary to optic disk swelling and associated macular edema could be found.
