Abstract
We present the case of a 54-year-old woman with papilledema associated to POEMS syndrome. The presence of intracranial hypertension was detected and treatment started with acetazolamide. The most common ophthalmological pathology in POEMS syndrome is papilledema, the etiology of which could be infiltrative, intracranial hypertension, inflammation or an increase of the vascular permeability. The correct diagnosis and treatment of papilledema, depending on its etiology, should permit an acceptable visual outcome to be achieved.
