Dementia was the presenting symptom in a patient with increased serum viscosity secondary to multiple myeloma. Plasmapheresis led to complete resolution of the neurologic syndrome. Serum hyperviscosity should be added to the growing list of reversible causes of dementia. When hyperviscosity-associated dementia is suspected, both serum and whole blood viscosity determinations are indicated.
痴呆是一名继发于多发性骨髓瘤导致血清粘度增加患者的首发症状。血浆置换使神经综合征完全缓解。血清高粘度应被列入越来越多的可导致痴呆的可逆病因之中。当怀疑存在与高粘度相关的痴呆时,需要测定血清和全血粘度。
