title: [Ataxia-telangiectasia: an optic and electron morphocytologic study of a conjunctival biopsy].
abstract: The authors present a case of ataxia-telangiectasia also known as Louis-Bar Syndrome. The rarity of the disease and the dearth of extensive literature about the subject submitting this particular case to optic and electronic study and to report the results. The description, that comes out from our histologic and submicroscope study of the conjunctiva, attests the change of the conduct, of the diameter and conjunctival flow of the microvessels. This, in turn touches upon the cytological question behind the cause of changes in the relationships of vessels and surrounding tissues.
