Objective:
To analyze the ocular features of POEMS syndrome, and explore the pathogenesis.
Method:
Fifteen cases with POEMS syndrome from 1984-2004 were reviewed and summarized. The ocular features and the intracranial pressures were analyzed.
Results:
Three of 15 patients showed blurred vision. Seven of 15 patients had mild papilloedema, five had fully papilloedema, and the optic discs in other three cases were normal. Intracranial pressures were measured in 11 of 15 patients. Seven of 8 patients with papilloedema had elevated intracranial pressures.
Conclusions:
Papilloedema is found in about 80.0% patients with POEMS syndrome. Most of the patients with papilloedema have elevated intracranial pressures.
