Purpose: This rare case shows the presence of both angioid streaks (AS) and central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC) in the same eye. Methods: A 41-year-old Caucasian male who also has a positive family history of AS was diagnosed with angioid streaks. He was followed for few years, later developed CSC in his good eye. Results: Fundus fluorescein led to the diagnosis of CSC and indocyanine green ...

Angioid streaks are linear dehiscences in the Bruch’s membrane, which may be idiopathic or associated with diseases based on an alteration of collagen, such as pseudoxanthoma elasticum or Paget’s disease.3 Therefore, we suggest that the angioid streaks could be associated with the AS, of which the physiopatholgical basis is an alteration of collagen type IV, a main component of all membranes in...

A 40-year old female came with complaints of headache for 5 days. Her general examination and vitals were within normal limits. On complete ophthalmic we found there are irregular streaks radiating from disc in the fundus both eyes suggesting angioid streaks. We did a dermatological evaluation view increased stretchability skin papules over neck & thigh diagnosed as pseudoxanthoma elasticum...

Angiogenesis inhibitors (e.g., ranibizumab, bevacizumab, pegaptanib, aflibercept) are being evaluated for the treatment of disorders of choroidal circulation. Ophthalmic disorders affecting the choroidal circulation include age-related macular degeneration (AMD), central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC), pathologic myopia, presumed ocular histoplasmosis syndrome, angioid streaks, idiopathic choro...

Angioid streaks (AS) are hereditary eye conditions caused by breaks in the elastic layer of Bruch's membrane. Patients with AS are also frequently affected with pseudoxanthoma elasticum (PXE). The locus of PXE has been reported to exist in chromosome 16p13.1, and the ABCC6 gene in this locus has been identified as the causal gene of PXE. In this study we investigated the association of the ABCC...
