Case report highlights retinal changes due to hyperviscosity in patients with Waldenström macroglobulinemia, indicating the need for careful assessment.

Key Points

To emphasize the significance of identifying hyperviscosity syndrome in patients diagnosed with Waldenström macroglobulinemia.
Reported a case of Waldenström macroglobulinemia with escalating M-protein levels.
Assessed retinal vascular changes linked to hyperviscosity retinopathy.
The patient exhibited increasing M-protein levels during treatment.
Retinal vascular alterations were consistent with hyperviscosity syndrome.
