Abstract
Dementia was the presenting symptom in a patient with increased serum viscosity secondary to multiple myeloma. Plas-mapheresis led to complete resolution of the neurologic syndrome. Serum hyperviscosity should be added to the growing list of reversible causes of dementia. When hyperviscosity-associated dementia is suspected, both serum and whole blood viscosity determinations are indicated.Keywords
