Two cases of corneal crystal deposition are reported, both caused by a benign monoclonal gammopathy
Similar corneal pathology is identified in these two patients, both of whom presented with visual acuities of 6/6 or better Consideration of possible causes involved biochemical and haematological testing and assessment.
Potential for malignant transformation of monoclonal gammopathy was recognized, hence the need for ongoing haematological follow-up.
Corneal crystals may be the initial presentation in a patient with monoclonal gammopathy, a rare, but significant, clinical finding.
报告两例角膜晶体沉积病例,均由良性单克隆丙种球蛋白病引起。
在这两名患者中发现了相似的角膜病理变化,他们的视力均为6/6或更好。对可能的病因进行了生化和血液学检测及评估。
认识到单克隆丙种球蛋白病有恶变的可能性,因此需要持续进行血液学随访。
角膜晶体可能是单克隆丙种球蛋白病患者的首发表现,这是一种罕见但重要的临床发现。
