Serum hyperviscosity syndrome impacts ocular health, but direct correlation with blood viscosity is limited in plasma cell dyscrasia. Plasmapheresis improved papilledema and retinal venous engorgement by reducing serum viscosity.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Hematology
  • Immunology

Context:

  • Serum hyperviscosity syndrome (SHVS) presents diverse etiologies.
  • Ocular fundus examination is crucial for SHVS assessment.

Purpose:

  • To investigate the correlation between pathological fundus findings and blood viscosity in SHVS patients.
  • To evaluate the efficacy of plasmapheresis in managing SHVS-related ocular manifestations.

Summary:

  • Fluorescein angiography was performed on 10 SHVS patients.
  • No precise correlation was found between fundus pathology and blood viscosity in plasma cell dyscrasia cases.
  • Plasmapheresis improved papilledema and retinal venous engorgement.
  • Abnormal circulating immunoglobulins are implicated in retinal pathology in plasma cell dyscrasia.

Impact:

  • Highlights the role of abnormal immunoglobulins in SHVS-induced retinal disease.
  • Suggests plasmapheresis as a potential treatment for specific SHVS ocular symptoms.
  • Informs clinical management strategies for patients with SHVS and ocular complications.
