Abstract Background:Waldenström's macroglobulinemia(WM)is a rare malignant lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma characterized by bone marrow infiltration and high immunoglobulin M(IgM)levels. Its incidence is approximately three cases per million people. Elevated blood IgM levels can lead to hyperviscosity syndrome, resulting in various systemic symptoms, including ocular manifestations.

Case Report:A 68-year-old female presented with decreased vision, exhibiting retinal vascular dilation, tortuosity, Roth spots, macular edema, and serous retinal detachment in both eyes. The initial best corrected visual acuity was 0.1 in the right eye and 0.4 in the left. Plasmapheresis and chemotherapy for WM were administered, leading to a gradual decrease and normalization of IgM levels. While visual acuity initially improved in both eyes, the right eye later experienced a decline, with final corrected visual acuities of the right and left eyes of 0.07 and 1.0, respectively.

Conclusion:Retinal changes due to hyperviscosity syndrome may serve as the initial symptom leading to the diagnosis of WM. Early treatment is crucial for the visual prognosis, emphasizing the importance of promptly collaborating with hematologists/oncologists upon observing ocular findings indicative of hyperviscosity syndrome.
