ABSTRACT
Mujer de 80 años con mieloma múltiple (MM) de tipo IgA, que desarrolló cambios retinianos semejantes a los de retinopatía diabética no proliferativa leve, objetivándose microaneurismas y fluido intrarretiniano. La paciente fue tratada con quimioterapia para MM e inyecciones intravítreas de bevacizumab, siendo controlada durante 22 meses. La terapia antiangiogénica puede ser útil en el control de retinopatía secundaria a MM siempre y cuando se realice el control de la enfermedad sistémica
The case is presented on an 80-year-old woman with IgA multiple myeloma (MM), who developed retinal changes similar to mild non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy, with micro-aneurysms and intraretinal fluid. The patient was treated with systemic chemotherapy for MM, and with bevacizumab intravitreal injections, with control of her ocular disorder for 22 months. Anti-angiogenic therapy can be useful in the control of retinopathy secondary to MM, as long as the systemic disease has been controlled
