Abstract

A 78-year-old female patient presented with complaints of decreased vision accompanied by redness and pain in both eyes for 1 week. She was diagnosed as having immunoglobulin G kappa type smoldering multiple myeloma 1 year ago. The dilated fundus examination revealed choroidal folds at the posterior pole and exudative retinal detachment in the peripheral area in both eyes. According to these findings, the patient was diagnosed with bilateral posterior scleritis and corticosteroid treatment was started. Osteoporotic bone lesions, anemia, and hypercalcemia were detected during the systemic examination, and the patient was diagnosed with immunoglobulin G kappa type multiple myeloma.
