Abstract
A patient with amyloidosis in the right bulbar conjunctiva and conjunctival haemorrhagic lymphangiectasia is presented. An orbitophlebography revealed occlusion of the superior and inferior ophthalmic veins in both orbits. A biopsy from the left bulbar conjunctiva obtained at the same time revealed conjunctival haemorrhagic lymphangiectasia but no amyloid. The possible relationship of the findings is discussed.Keywords
