  • Title: Unilateral tarsal amyloidosis.
    Author: García de Oteyza G, de la Paz M, Charoenrook de la Fuente V.
    Journal: Arch Soc Esp Oftalmol; 2016 Nov; 91(11):556-558. PubMed ID: 27091291.
    Abstract:
    CASE REPORT: A 23-year-old man presented with a unilateral left ptosis of two years onset. After ineffective treatment for vernal conjunctivitis for several months, the biopsy demonstrated tarsal amyloidosis. Surgical resolution of the case was anatomically and functionally satisfactory. DISCUSSION: Ocular amyloidosis is a rare disease that must be suspected with infiltrative mass lesions. Biopsy is the diagnostic method. Treatment should be individualised.
