Amyloidosis is a systemic disorder associated with clonal plasma cell dyscrasia. Nephrotic syndrome, congestive heart failure, autonomic and peripheral neuropathy is often associated features in amyloidosis. Early diagnosis is most important because of different prognosis by stage. The diagnosis can be delayed since symptoms of amyloidosis may vary or nonspecific. We describe a patient of myeloma-associated amyloidosis, who showed orthostatic intolerance as the first symptom of the disease. (Korean J Clin Neurophysiol 2015;17:24-27)
