[Clinical case of the month: non-familial vitreous amyloidosis].
Vitreous amyloidosis is characterized by the presence of amyloid deposition in the vitreous cavity. It is frequently associated with dominantly inherited familial amyloidosis of the transthyretin mutation. The nonfamilial form is rare, and only a dozen of cases have been reported in the ophthalmological literature.
