Descripción
Sumario:Autoimmune autonomic ganglionopathy is an autonomic disorder that occurs as a symptom of paraneoplastic neurological syndrome. To date, there have been no reports on multiple myeloma with autoimmune autonomic ganglionopathy. A 37-year-old Japanese woman suffered from orthostatic hypotension was diagnosed with multiple myeloma (IgG kappa type), and a serological examination revealed the presence of anti-ganglionic nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (anti-gAChR) antibodies. She was treated for multiple myeloma, as a result, the autonomic disturbance improved and her anti-gAChR antibody titer decreased to undetectable levels, despite the fact that she only achieved a partial remission of multiple myeloma. Treatment for multiple myeloma may improve autoimmune autonomic ganglionopathy.
