[Bing-Neel syndrome successfully treated with tirabrutinib]

Bing-Neel syndrome (BNS) is a rare disease manifestation of Waldenström's macroglobulinemia characterized by abnormal lymphoplasmacytoid cells infiltration of the central nervous system. In September 2019, a 46-year-old man presented to a previous hospital with hand tremors, nausea, and dysuria. Demyelination of cerebral white matter and the spinal cord was discovered using MRI. Steroid pulse therapy was used to treat inflammatory demyelinating disease, and it provided temporary relief, but the symptoms returned when the steroids were stopped. He was referred to our hospital in June 2020, for further evaluation with the possibility of hematological malignancy. BNS was diagnosed based on the presence of abnormal lymphoplasmacytoid cells in the bone marrow and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), as well as the presence of the MYD88
