Abstract:

A 50 year-old woman presented to the hospital with a complaint of bilateral gradual progressive visual loss since three years ago, associated with cloudy discoloration of cornea in both eyes with copper deposition in the Descemet’s membrane and deep layers of central cornea along with anterior lens capsule showed on Slit-lamp examination with other normal physical examinations. Through the pattern of copper deposition as previous reported other evaluations were around plasma cell disorders such as multiple myeloma. Laboratory evaluations demonstrated hypercupremia and increased ESR and mild anemia and increased monoclonal IgG and free LAMBDA light chain spike which is compatible with multiple myeloma. Ocular manifestations of multiple myeloma are rare and adverse, hence there is no single comprehensive protocol that can be extrapolate to these various dilemmas.
