Orbital amyloidosis

Orbital amyloidosis can occur in the orbital lacrimal gland, eyelid, and conjunctival tissue. It is a disease caused by amyloid deposition, which is relatively rare in clinical practice. Lesions can cause eyeballs to protrude, ptosis, and eye movements. Disorders, orbital bleeding (spontaneous), and decreased vision. Amorphous and transparent substances, that is, foreign body granulomatous reactions caused by the deposition of amyloid in the eyelid, conjunctiva, and orbit, are called ocular amyloidosis. It can cause spontaneous bleeding from the eyelids and orbits, drooping of the upper eyelid, impaired eye movements, and exophthalmos. Amyloidosis can be primary in the orbit with other organ lesions throughout the body, or it may be a secondary change, that is, chronic infection or specific inflammation of the whole body causing amyloidosis in the eye.
