Abstract
Waldenström's macroglobulinemia (WM) is associated with retinal findings of hyperviscosity, such as venous dilation, and findings of immunogammopathy maculopathy, such as serous macular detachment. This report describes a case of bilateral serous macular detachment with intraretinal schisis-like fluid in a patient with WM. Enhanced depth imaging optical coherence tomography revealed a thickened choroid with hyperreflective accumulations in the retinal pigment epithelium layer. Ultrawide-field fundus autofluorescence demonstrated a central area of hyperautofluorescence corresponding to the area of serous macular detachment. Ultrawide-field fluorescein angiography was characteristically silent. Intravitreal bevacizumab therapy resulted in significant reduction in intraretinal fluid but minimal change in subretinal fluid. Long-term follow-up demonstrated alterations in retinal architecture and improved serous detachments. Copyright 2015, SLACK Incorporated.Entities:
