[Malignant atrophic papulosis (Degos' disease): clinical review. Apropos of a case].
[malignant atrophic papulosis]
Malignant
atrophic
papulosis
was
first
described
by
Degos
in
1942
.
It
is
an
occlusive
arteriopathy
involving
small
caliber
vessels
in
the
whole
organism
.
Ocular
involvement
was
reported
in
35
out
of
the
105
observations
published
so
far
.
The
ophthalmological
symptoms
were
reviewed
and
compared
to
a
personal
case
.
They
consist
of
either
involvement
of
the
eye
tissues
with
a
predominance
of
the
conjunctiva
(
but
also
sclera
,
episclera
,
retina
,
choroid
and
optic
nerve
)
,
or
of
neuro-ophthalmological
lesions
.
Up
to
now
,
both
etiopathogeny
and
appropriate
treatment
of
the
disease
remain
unknown
.
