In patients with Waldenström’s macroglobulinemia, various symptoms resulting from
penetration of lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma into the central nervous system (CNS) are called
Bing-Neel syndrome (BNS). Typical neurological symptoms are related with diffuse CNS
involvement, and focal cranial neuropathy is rare in BNS. Here we introduce a patient who
showed dyschromatopsia with optic neuritis (ON) as the initial and only clinical feature of BNS.
Our case illustrated that BNS should be included in differential diagnosis of ON, especially of that
with atypical manifestation.
