Abstract

The case is presented on an 80-year-old woman with IgA multiple myeloma (MM), who developed retinal changes similar to mild non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy, with micro-aneurysms and intraretinal fluid. The patient was treated with systemic chemotherapy for MM, and with bevacizumab intravitreal injections, with control of her ocular disorder for 22 months. Anti-angiogenic therapy can be useful in the control of retinopathy secondary to MM, as long as the systemic disease has been controlled.

Resumen

Mujer de 80 años con mieloma múltiple (MM) de tipo IgA, que desarrolló cambios retinianos semejantes a los de retinopatía diabética no proliferativa leve, objetivándose microaneurismas y fluido intrarretiniano. La paciente fue tratada con quimioterapia para MM e inyecciones intravítreas de bevacizumab, siendo controlada durante 22 meses. La terapia antiangiogénica puede ser útil en el control de retinopatía secundaria a MM siempre y cuando se realice el control de la enfermedad sistémica.
