Abstract
Background
To report the neuro-ophthalmological findings in the TAFRO syndrome in a South American patient.
Methods
This is a case report of a patient with TAFRO syndrome.
Results
We present the case of a 66-year-old woman with TAFRO syndrome and multicentric Castleman disease, who developed ophthalmic manifestations, as a rare complication, including optic disk edema and serous retinal detachment, which improved with conventional therapy.
Conclusions
The optic disk edema could be present as a neuro-ophthalmological finding in TAFRO syndrome. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report on the ophthalmic manifestations in the TAFRO syndrome.
