Abstract
PURPOSE To study the biochemical analysis of aqueous humor in a patient with multiple myeloma presenting first as chronic uveitis. METHODS Observational case report. RESULTS A 63-year-old healthy woman presented with blurred vision in both eyes for 9 months. Slit-lamp examination showed bilateral conjunctival congestion, corneal oedema, and anterior uveitis. Fundus exam revealed normal optic disc with fine retinal folds in the macula. Serum protein electrophoretogram showed a monoclonal M protein band in the gamma globulin region. The bone marrow biopsy revealed hypercellular marrow with trilineage haematopoiesis and the bone marrow aspirate showed clonal plasma cells >10%, confirming the diagnosis of multiple myeloma. Aqueous fluid showed a differential band in electrophoretic profile of aqueous humor protein that on mass spectrometry analysis was strongly suggestive of immunoglobulin band. CONCLUSION The biochemical analysis of aqueous humor is another diagnostic test to monitor M protein in patients with multiple myeloma.

Abstract
Monoclonal gammopathy of ocular significance (MGOS) is a rare subset of monoclonal gammopathy of clinical significance occurring secondary to plasma cell disorders and causing ocular manifestations. We identified 23 patients with paraproteinemic keratopathy (PPK) in the setting of monoclonal gammopathy of unknown significance (MGUS, 10), smoldering multiple myeloma (SMM, 3) or multiple myeloma (MM, 10). Many of these patients with PPK (11/23) presented decreased vision. All patients with MM and 40% of those with other diagnoses such as SMM and MGUS received systemic therapy with or without autologous stem cell transplantation. Four eyes of four patients were treated by penetrating keratoplasty. In most cases, neither ocular nor hematologic treatment afforded a durable improvement in the visual acuity (recurrence after a median of 11 months), despite initial responses. Further studies will be required to determine the optimal strategy to treat and prevent the relapse of ocular symptoms in patients with PPK.
