  • Severe ocular involvement in hereditary gelsolin amyloidosis
    Publication . Silva, Nisa; Beirão, João
    Hereditary gelsolin amyloidosis is a rare subtype of hereditary systemic amyloidosis. An old male presented with the characteristic triad of symptoms, including bilateral facial palsy, cutis laxa, and corneal lattice amyloidosis. The diagnosis was confirmed by the detection of the mutation in gelsolin gene located on chromosome 9. Although the presenting symptoms were highly suggestive of the disease, reports of severe ocular involvement are scarce in the literature.
