title: [Malignant atrophic papulosis (Degos' disease): clinical review. Apropos of a case].
abstract: Malignant atrophic papulosis was first described by Degos in 1942. It is an occlusive arteriopathy involving small caliber vessels in the whole organism. Ocular involvement was reported in 35 out of the 105 observations published so far. The ophthalmological symptoms were reviewed and compared to a personal case. They consist of either involvement of the eye tissues with a predominance of the conjunctiva (but also sclera, episclera, retina, choroid and optic nerve), or of neuro-ophthalmological lesions. Up to now, both etiopathogeny and appropriate treatment of the disease remain unknown.
