Abstract
This case represents the first time that IVL has been detected via lacrimal gland biopsy, which may be a useful way to investigate cryptogenic neurologic processes. Furthermore, it is one of the only reported cases of ophthalmic IVL diagnosed before autopsy. IVL is a rare disease but has protean manifestations involving the central nervous system, skin, bone marrow, liver, and spleen. The eye should also be considered an end organ for involvement.
