Zusammenfassung

Beschrieben wird der Fall eines 41-jährigen Patienten, der sich mit progredienter Sehverschlechterung an beiden Augen vorstellte. Die Befunde der Labordiagnostik und der MRT führten zur Verdachtsdiagnose Plasmozytom, die mit der Serumelektrophorese bestätigt wurde. Die Behandlung mit zwei Zyklen Vincristin, Adriamycin und Dexamethason führte zur Rückbildung der Stauungspapille und Remission der Systemerkrankung.

Abstract

The case of a 41-year-old male patient is described who presented with progressive deterioration of vision in both eyes. The results of laboratory tests and magnetic resonance tomography led to the suspicion of a plasmacytoma, which was confirmed by serum electrophoresis. Treatment with two cycles of vincristine, adriamycine and dexamethasone led to a regression of the papilledema and remission of the system disease.
