  • Title: Localized amyloidosis in relation to conjunctival haemorrhagic lymphangiectasia and occlusion of the orbital veins. A case report.
    Author: Jensen JE.
    Journal: Acta Ophthalmol (Copenh); 1983 Apr; 61(2):254-60. PubMed ID: 6880637.
    Abstract:
    A patient with amyloidosis in the right bulbar conjunctiva and conjunctival haemorrhagic lymphangiectasia is presented. An orbitophlebography revealed occlusion of the superior and inferior ophthalmic veins in both orbits. A biopsy from the left bulbar conjunctiva obtained at the same time revealed conjunctival haemorrhagic lymphangiectasia but no amyloid. The possible relationship of the findings is discussed.
