Liquid Nitrogen Cryotherapy for Conjunctival Amyloidosis

Localized conjunctival amyloidosis clinically presenting as pyogenic granuloma

“…Conjunctival lesions may be managed conservatively, with cryotherapy, or with local excision. [ 4 , 5 ] Amyloidosis of the lacrimal glands can be managed through surgical excision. Secondary glaucoma in the setting of ocular amyloidosis can be challenging to treat despite maximum topical treatment.…”

Periocular and orbital amyloidosis: A case series study

“…23 Amyloidosis may infiltrate the ocular tissues like trabecular meshwork, uveal tissue, vitreous, and retinal pigment epithelium which leads to amyloid related secondary glaucoma, amyloid vitreous opacity, and amyloid retinal deposits. 24,25 Among the 68 patients of systemic amyloidosis, nine patients were presented with ocular morbidity. Eight patients were associated with ocular and adnexal involvement like conjunctiva, extra ocular muscles, trabecular mesh work, temporal artery, and cranial nerve amyloid deposition.…”

Contrasting presentations of the same disease: A comparison of two cases of amyloidosis presenting with eyelid involvement

“…For conjunctival amyloidosis, liquid nitrogen cryotherapy has been studied as an adjunct to surgical excision. 14 Amyloidosis presenting with vitreous opacities, such as in transthyretin amyloidosis, should be managed with primary complete, extensive vitrectomy with scleral depression. 15 Laser therapy with retinal photocoagulation has also been performed for retinal and vitreous amyloid deposits.…”
