[Position of ocular amyloidosis among various forms of amyloidosis].
New data, concerning incidence, morphology, clinical manifestations of eye amyloidosis are obtained following its study using modern verification methods. Eye amyloidosis is represented either by its local forms or is associated with a generalized amyloidosis. Local eye amyloidosis predominated and may be isolated and combined. Isolated amyloidosis is represented by two variants: with an involvement of the anterior part of the eye in the form of pseudoexfoliative amyloidosis (PEA) and involvement of the posterior part of the eye with the development of senile macular degeneration (SMD). Local amyloidosis may be associated with senile cerebral amyloidosis, insular amyloidosis of pancreas and both. Predominant involvement of the eye vessels and extraocular structures is an important feature of the ocular amyloidosis as a manifestation of generalized forms. Vitreous body is involved mainly in FAP. New clinico-morpho-pathogenetic classification is suggested.
