Angioid streaks (AS) are the most common ocular manifestation in patients with pseudoxanthoma elasticum (PXE). The major cause of severe visual loss in patients with AS is choroidal neovascularization (CNV). We report the optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) findings of CNV in a patient with PXE and angioid streaks. A 51-year-old man with PXE presented with visual disturbance in his ...

INTRODUCTION Angioid streaks are breaks in Bruch's membrane that may be associated, among others, with pseudoxanthoma elasticum. Its most common complication is the development of subretinal neovascular membranes (SRNVM) and the decreased vision this entails. CASE REPORT A 28 year old woman with angioid streaks and SRNVM in the left eye, who received 3 injections of intravitreal bevacizumab, ...

CLINICAL CASE A patient had bilateral angioid streaks complicated by cicatricial degeneration in the left eye and subfoveal choroidal neovascularization in the right eye. Photodynamic therapy resulted in a favorable response with normalization of the visual acuity and angiographic resolution of the lesions. DISCUSSION The most serious complication of angioid streaks is choroidal neovasculariz...

IN recent years there have been many references to angioid streaks of the retina found in association with pseudoxanthoma elasticum and Paget's disease of bones (Elwyn, 1953; Cowper, 1954; Bedrossian, 1958; Hogan and Zinmerman, 1962). A review of the current literature on angioid streaks and on brain tumours revealed no cases of angioid streaks in patients who presented with ocular manifestatio...

Angioid streaks were observed in 21 of 242 patients with homozygous sickle cell disease. Two morphological types were observed. There is no evidence that angioid streaks in Jamaican patients are related to pseudoxanthoma elasticum.

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. Pat...

The clinical significance and ophthalmoscopic features of angioid streaks have received considerable attention in the ophthalmic literature (Paton, I962; Paton, 1972; Connor, Juergens, Perry, Hollenhorst, and Edwards, I96I). Angioid streaks usually have a characteristic ophthalmoscopic appearance and diagnosis is easy. In some instances, however, they may be subtle or may simulate other more co...

The most characteristic ocular lesions in pseudoxanthoma elasticum are the angioid streaks which may be seen in about 85 per cent. of cases. The associated features in the fundus are a peculiar mottled appearance (Shimizu, I96I), peau d'orange (Smith, Gass, and Justice, I964), and yellowish-white spots (salmon spots). While most subjects showing angioid streaks have pseudoxanthoma elasticum, cl...

Angioid streaks are rare lesions of the fundus, which often associated with general pathologies. These stripes that visible at dark in appearance, and diverge from papilla. They due to anomalies elastic fibers there is a deposit calcium. described many pathologies: Paget's disease; Sickle cell disease Marfan's syndrome. There no treatment for angioid streaks. We report case patient presenting a...
