Abstract
Acute onset hemiplegia is an extremely rare presentation of multiple myeloma (MM). In most of these cases, the onset of
hemiplegia is due to stroke caused by hyperviscosity secondary to the paraproteinemia in MM. Hemiplegia secondary to
intracranial plasmacytoma is one of the rarest presentations of MM. We present here the case of a woman who reported with
acute onset hemiplegia secondary to intracranial space occupying lesion, which proved to be plasmacytoma.
