Classification of angioid streaks.
ANGIOID streaks of the retina were first described by Doyne (1889). They have since been the subject of much controversy. More than 200 cases have been reported in the literature, but histological studies have been few and the changes described have varied. The condition is frequently associated with pseudoxanthoma elasticum, with cardiovascular disease, and with Paget's disease of bone. A simi...
متن کاملAngioid Streaks in Psuedoxanthoma Elasticum
Pseudoxanthoma elasticum (PXE) is a hereditary disorder that affects primarily the elastic tissues of skin, eyes and blood vessels. Its estimated prevalence is thought to be 1:25,000 100,000. PXE patients also carry an increased risk for cardiovascular and gastrointestinal diseases. Early diagnosis can play a crucial role in preventing early loss of vision and systemic complications in these pa...
متن کاملClinical Applications of Optical Coherence Tomography in Ophthalmology
Assessment of the peripapillary nerve fiber layer and macular thickness can be determined in ophthalmology using optical coherence tomography (OCT). Decreased nerve fiber layer thickness and macular ganglion cell thickness in optic nerve ischemia have been correlated with visual field loss. OCT allows deep optic nerve head evaluation which helps understand pathophysiology of diseases. Furtherm...
متن کاملEvolution of idiopathic epiretinal membrane studied by optical coherence tomography.
PURPOSE To study the evolution of idiopathic epiretinal membrane (IERM) as examined by optical coherence tomography (OCT) in the 1-mm-diameter circle centered on the fovea. METHODS In a case series study 71 subjects (71 eyes) with idiopathic epiretinal membrane and macular thickness greater than 220-/+10 micro m were evaluated by OCT. The fellow healthy eye of 52 patients was used as the cont...
