Drusen and Sub Retinal Drusenoid Deposits ( SDD ) in Age Related Macular Degeneration
نویسنده
چکیده
Purpose: To review drusen and sub retinal drusenoid deposits in age related macular degeneration as regards their pathogenesis, morphology, differentiation and their importance as regards the visual prognosis of age related macular degeneration (AMD). Results: Each type of drusen or drusenoid deposits has a different visual prognosis, and the differentiation of them using multimodal imaging tests is important for the management of age-related maculopathies. Methods: Review of the above mentioned items based on published data. Conclusion: Multimodal imaging tests can differentiate different types of drusen and sub retinal drusenoid deposits, including their atypical forms, with consequent ability to foretell the prognosis in the various forms of presentation of AMD.

Drusen Imaging: A Review
Drusen represent the hallmark of non-exudative age-related macular degeneration (AMD). Drusen vary in their location within the retina, ranging from sub-retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) drusen and sub-neurosensory retinal drusenoid deposits above the RPE (or pseudo-drusen). In this paper, we review the rapidly advancing imaging techniques currently available to better correlate drusen volume to...

متن کاملThe Association Between Subretinal Drusenoid Deposits in Older Adults in Normal Macular Health and Incident Age-Related Macular Degeneration
PURPOSE Subretinal drusenoid deposits (SDD) have been associated with the progression to late age-related macular degeneration (AMD). To determine whether SDD in eyes in normal macular health increases risk for early AMD, this study examined the association between presence of SDD at baseline in a cohort of older adults in normal macular health and incident AMD 3 years later. METHODS Subjects...

Purpose To explore the association between presence of subretinal drusenoid deposits (SDD) at baseline in eyes with neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD) with the development of macular atrophy (MA) during anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) therapy. Methods There were 74 eyes without pre-existing MA receiving anti-VEGF therapy for nAMD for 2 years or longer analyzed....
