Vertigo as an Initial Presentation of Multiple Myeloma Vertigem como Manifestação Inaugural de Mieloma Múltiplo

Abstract

Multiple myeloma is a malignant B cell neoplasm, characterized by uncontrolled and clonal proliferation of plasma cells. Intracranial involvement is uncommon. Vertigo and instability are extremely rare and usually late manifestations of multiple myeloma with intracranial extension. This study aims to present a rare case of a 55-year-old patient with vertigo complaints as an inaugural manifestation of advanced myeloma of the posterior fossa, emphasizing the clinical, diagnostic and therapeutic aspects.
