Overview
There are no specific MRI findings associated with Waldenstrom's macroglobulinemia. However, MRI of the brain, spinal cord and orbits is especially important while assessing hyperviscosity and for diagnosing Bing-Neel syndrome.
MRI
- There are no specific MRI findings associated with waldenstrom's macroglobulinemia.
- However, MRI of the brain, spinal cord and orbits is important when assessing for hyperviscosity in the presence of high IgM paraprotein in the blood especially important when diagnosing Bing-Neel syndrome.[1][2][3]
