TitreThe Association of Crystalline Keratopathy and Intraocular Inflammation in IgG Monoclonal Gammopathy: A Case Report
Abstract Nr.119
ButCorneal immunoglobulin deposits are an unusual presentation of lymphoproliferative disorders such as monoclonal gammopathy of unknown significance, essential cryoglobulinemia and multiple myeloma.
MéthodesA 51-year old Caucasian female presented with a bilateral crystalline keratopathy and unilateral right anterior uveitis. At the time of presentation she had no general clinical symptoms.
RésultatsThe diagnosis of monoclonal gammopathy was suspected and confirmed by electrophoresis. With local steroids for several weeks, a good clinical response was obtained with complete resolution of the anterior uveitis. However, the corneal deposits remain unchanged after one year of follow-up. The visual acuity remains 10/10 in both eyes without any treatment.
ConclusionA lymphoproliferative disorder has to be taken into consideration in cases with a combination of corneal deposits and intraocular inflammation.
