Ocular amyloidosis, with special reference to thehereditary forms with vitreous involvement

Ophthalmologic Involvement in Patients With Hereditary Transthyretin Amyloidosis

“…These results are in line with previous reports 3,5,8,11,12 with variations of different signs prevalent probably because of the different distribution of genetic variants in different geographic areas.…”

Recurrence of Vitreous Amyloidosis and Need of Surgical Reintervention in Portuguese Patients With Familial Amyloidosis Attr V30m

“…However, most authors refer a recurrence after several years of follow-up, with new deposition of amyloid in the vitreous cavity, leading to a decrease in visual acuity and need for a new vitrectomy. 8,18,[25][26][27][28][29] Results of out study confirmed that vitrectomy is a safe and useful treatment for vitreous opacities in patients with FAP-I. No complications of vitrectomy (retinal detachment, retinal tear, cataract, and glaucoma) were observed.…”

De novo intraocular amyloid deposition after hepatic transplantation in familial amyloidotic polyneuropathy

“…Sandgren et al[ 3 , 7 ] suggested that amyloid deposits in pupil and anterior lens capsule are more precocious than in the vitreous, which can explain the existence of rare cases, such as our case, which have much more ATTR deposition in anterior segment than in vitreous. These rare cases, such as our clinical case, corroborate the hypothesis raised by the study from Kawaji et al[ 12 ] postulating that the ATTR accumulated in anterior segment may have origin in CPE.…”
