METHODS: Two patients affected by EMAP underwent multimodal imaging, including fundus autofluorescence and optical coherence tomography.
RESULTS: The patients showed the typical clinical appearance with macular atrophy with larger vertical axis surrounded by pseudodrusen-like deposits involving the midperiphery, associated with paving stone lesions in the retinal periphery.
CONCLUSIONS: EMAP is a complex condition sharing clinical characteristics of age-related macular degeneration. Further studies are warranted to identify the early biomarker of the disease.
方法:两名受EMAP影响的患者接受了多模态成像,包括眼底自发荧光和光学相干断层扫描。
结果:患者表现出典型的黄斑萎缩临床表现,其纵轴较大,周围有中周假性玻璃疣样沉积,与视网膜周边的铺路石病变有关。
结论:EMAP是一种复杂的疾病,具有年龄相关性黄斑变性的临床特征。需要进一步的研究来确定该疾病的早期生物标志物。
