Bilateral exudative retinal detachment with subretinal light-chain protein in a patient with multiple myeloma -case report-
We successfully identified light-chain proteins in subretinal fluid, allowing for a more precise understanding of the pathogenesis of this complication. The pathomechanism likely involves damage to the outer blood-retina barrier due to the deposition of light-chain proteins. Whether mobilization of bone marrow cells with Plerixafor led to a breakdown of the outer blood-retina barrier in these patients is a topic for discussion and has to be considered in the use of Plerixafor.
