    We describe two multiple myeloma patients who developed hyperammonemic encephalopathy. This rare complication is linked to disease progression and poor prognosis, warranting its inclusion in differential diagnoses.

    Area of Science:

    • Neurology
    • Oncology
    • Biochemistry

    Background:

    • Multiple myeloma is a hematologic malignancy.
    • Hyperammonemic encephalopathy is a rare neurological complication.
    • The pathophysiology of this complication in multiple myeloma is currently unknown.

    Observation:

    • Two patients with multiple myeloma presented with hyperammonemic encephalopathy.
    • The complication was observed in conjunction with disease progression.

    Findings:

    • Hyperammonemic encephalopathy is a rare but serious complication in multiple myeloma patients.
    • The condition is associated with advanced disease and a poor prognosis.

    Implications:

    • Hyperammonemic encephalopathy should be considered in the differential diagnosis of encephalopathy in multiple myeloma.

  • Further research into the pathophysiology of this complication is warranted.
  • Early recognition and management may be crucial for patient outcomes.
