Vitreous amyloidosis is a rare condition that occurs in some forms of Transthyretin hereditary Amyloidosis, mainly in Familial Amyloidotic Polyneuropathy type I. Vitreous opacities may be the earliest occurring or, in some cases, only symptom of this disorder. In such cases a family history of amyloidosis is usually present. We report on a case of vitreous amyloidosis in an 80-year-old man where there is no evidence of systemic involvement and no family history of amyloidosis.
玻璃体淀粉样变性是一种罕见的病症，发生于某些形式的转甲状腺素蛋白遗传性淀粉样变性中，主要见于I型家族性淀粉样多神经病。玻璃体混浊可能是该病症最早出现的症状，或者在某些情况下是唯一的症状。在这些病例中，通常存在淀粉样变性的家族史。我们报告一例80岁男性的玻璃体淀粉样变性病例，该患者无全身受累证据，也无淀粉样变性家族史。
