Amyloidosis of the vitreous body is an uncommon and often misdiagnosed condition that causes progressive visual loss. It is usually associated with primary familial systemic amyloidosis. The patient described in this report has amyloidosis of both vitreous bodies; her case is unusual because no other family members are affected and because there has been no evidence of systemic involvement over a seven-year observation period. After part of the vitreous body of her right eye was removed surgically, visual acuity improved from light perception to 20/60. New concepts regarding the nature, classification, and histochemical identification of amyloid are discussed.
玻璃体淀粉样变性是一种罕见且常被误诊的疾病，可导致进行性视力丧失。它通常与原发性家族性全身性淀粉样变性相关。本报告中描述的患者双眼均患有玻璃体淀粉样变性；她的病例不同寻常，因为没有其他家庭成员患病，且在七年的观察期内没有全身性受累的证据。手术切除她右眼部分玻璃体后，视力从光感提高到了20/60。文中还讨论了关于淀粉样物质的性质、分类和组织化学鉴定的新概念。
