Inthe case of the mentioned patient the haematological disease (Waldenström’sdisease) was manifested by hyperviscous and anaemic syndrome. The ophthalmologicalfinding in the general picture was not dominant but on the whole typicaland contributed to a more rapid diagnosis of the fundamental disease. Changeson the fundus by which the hyperviscous syndrome ismanifested must be knownand in the differential diagnosis the possibility of haematological disease shouldbe taken into account as in the majority patients are involved who are at risk ofsudden loss of eyesight and sudden death.

Key words:
