Prevalence of angioid streaks and other ocular complications of Paget's disease of bone.
Seventy randomly selected patients with Paget's disease of bone were examined for ocular complications. The prevalence of macular degeneration and cataract was 24.3%. Only one patient was found to have angioid streaks. Eight patients had peripapillary chorioretinal atrophy. These findings suggest that the prevalence of serious ocular complications of Paget's disease is not as high as previously...
متن کاملClassification 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, clinical course, complications, and current therapeutic management
Angioid streaks are visible irregular crack-like dehiscences in Bruch's membrane that are associated with atrophic degeneration of the overlying retinal pigmented epithelium. Angioid streaks may be associated with pseudoxanthoma elasticum, Paget's disease, sickle-cell anemia, acromegaly, Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, and diabetes mellitus, but also appear in patients without any systemic disease.

متن کاملAngioid streaks and elastorrhexis.
ANGIOID streaks are thought to be due to breaks in the elastic lamina of Bruch's membrane. Ophthalmoscopically they present a jagged peripapillary ring which may be incomplete and from which radiate irregular spokes of width similar to retinal vessels. With time, they may progress, or become less distinct. Their colour varies from reddish-brown to dark brown according to the density of the over...
متن کاملChoroidal neovascularization after blunt ocular trauma in angioid streaks
BACKGROUND Patients with angioid streaks are prone to develop a subretinal hemorrhage after ocular injury, due to fragility of Bruch's membrane. OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to report a patient with angioid streaks in whom subfoveal choroidal neovascularization (CNV) developed after blunt ocular trauma. CASE REPORT A 60-year-old man was accidentally struck in the left eye with a ...
