Mononeuritis multiplex in a patient with macroglobulinaemia

D M Fraser, A C Parker, S Amer

    Journal of Neurology, Neurosurgery, and Psychiatry
    |July 1, 1976
    PubMed
    Summary

    This case study details a patient with Waldenström's macroglobulinaemia experiencing neurological issues due to hyperviscosity, known as Bing-Neel syndrome. Treatment with plasmapheresis and chlorambucil showed a positive response.

    Area of Science:

    • Hematology
    • Neurology
    • Oncology

    Background:

    • Waldenström's macroglobulinaemia is a rare lymphoproliferative disorder.
    • Hyperviscosity syndrome can cause significant clinical manifestations.
    • Bing-Neel syndrome is a rare neurological complication of Waldenström's macroglobulinaemia.

    Observation:

    • A 73-year-old male presented with Waldenström's macroglobulinaemia and neurological abnormalities.
    • The patient exhibited symptoms consistent with hyperviscosity syndrome.
    • Serum viscosity levels correlated with the observed neurological deficits.

    Findings:

    • The case highlights the association between Waldenström's macroglobulinaemia, hyperviscosity, and Bing-Neel syndrome.
    • Therapeutic interventions including plasmapheresis and chlorambucil were employed.
    • A notable response to treatment was observed, suggesting efficacy in managing these complex conditions.

    Implications:

    • This case provides insight into the management of Bing-Neel syndrome.
    • Understanding the link between serum viscosity and neurological function is crucial.
    • Effective treatment strategies can improve outcomes for patients with Waldenström's macroglobulinaemia and associated complications.
