Description
Ahmad Pourmohammadi, Saba Naghavi, and Iman Adibi reported a rare first sign of a blood disorder in a 2026 case paper. Monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance is a quiet plasma cell growth that usually causes no symptoms. It can harm nerves at the body's edges, but strikes on the central nervous system are rare.
Their patient, a healthy 54-year-old Iranian man, suffered repeated optic neuritis, flare-ups of the eye nerve. Testing traced the attacks to the gammopathy. High-dose steroids calmed the flares and rituximab kept them away. The case warns eye doctors to check blood proteins when neuritis keeps returning.
