AMD

Description

78-year-old woman comes for a check-up.

The VA in RE is counting fingers and in LE 20/25.

The fundus in the RE shows a yellowish macular lesion and a small upper hemorrhage. OCT confirms the diagnosis of disciform scar secondary to neovascular AMD. The LE is being monitored for non-exudative type 1 NVM.

Comments

Disciform scar secondary to neovascular AMD is a fibrotic tissue that forms in the subretinal and sub-RPE space in long-standing neovascular lesions, especially if they are not treated. They are associated with very poor visual acuity.
