Abstract Purpose:We report a case of multiple myeloma with bilateral central retinal vein occlusion(CRVO)as the initial presentation.

Case:A 55-year-old male experienced visual impairment in his left eye starting in early February 2023 and visited a nearby ophthalmologist in the middle of February. The patient was referred to our hospital four days after a visit to his primary ophthalmologist because of CRVO in both eyes. His best-corrected visual acuity at initial examination was 1.2 in the right eye and 0.6 in the left eye. Fundus examination revealed flame-shaped and blot retinal hemorrhages as well as tortuosity and dilatation of retinal veins in all four quadrants of the fundus bilaterally. Optical coherence tomography(OCT)showed macular edema in both eyes and serous retinal detachment in the macula of the left eye. Blood tests were performed to investigate the cause of the disease and, revealed anemia, increased coagulability, hyperproteinemia, hypoalbuminemia, decreased renal function, and high IgA levels. The patient was subsequently diagnosed with symptomatic multiple myeloma(IgA-λ type)by our hematology department. After hematological treatment, the hemorrhagic findings in the fundus gradually improved and the serous retinal detachment decreased. The patient's best-corrected visual acuity improved to 1.5 in the right eye and 1.2 in the left eye after five months of treatment.

Conclusion:In this case, the findings of bilateral CRVO were due to hyperviscosity caused by underlying multiple myeloma. When CRVO occurs in both eyes simultaneously, a systemic examination should be performed to rule out hematologic disease.
