Progression of Pseudovitelliform Macular Dystrophy

Occult Choroidal Neovascularization in Adult-Onset Foveomacular Vitelliform Dystrophy

“…The percentage of AOFVD patients with CNV found in this study was 11.7%, that is within the range of values reported by most authors [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]. All eyes developed CNV with occult pattern on FA, and a better CNV visualization was not possible using ICGA together with IMAGEnet so that in all cases CNV remained ill defined.…”

Fundus Autofluorescence, Optical Coherence Tomography and Visual Acuity in Adult-Onset Foveomacular Dystrophy

“…Adult-onset foveomacular vitelliform dystrophy (AOFVD) is an inherited macular disorder, first described by Gass [1] in 1974, characterized by various patterns of uni- or bilateral foveal yellowish elevated deposits localized in the macular area at the level of the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE), often centered by a pigmented spot [2,3,4,5,6,7]. It has a late onset (40–70 years), moderate symptoms, slow progression and a normal or subnormal electro-oculogram.…”

Morphology and Functional Characteristics in Adult Vitelliform Macular Dystrophy

“…As also noted in other studies, we have seen in some cases more than one yellow lesion, parafoveal drusen, 2,5,7,12,15,18 and paracentral drusen. 11,12,19,23 RPE detachment, 21,27 stellate retinal folds, 28 and subretinal neovascularizations 3,7,27 were not observed. Previously not reported was the occurrence of nevi, other hyperpigmentations, and malignant melanomas in four eyes with AVMD, although the relevance of this finding remains unclear.…”

“…11,14,15,18,19,23,28 In our series, the functional findings were variable but in most cases were in accordance with a mild to moderate macular dysfunction. The visual field was normal in half of the eyes.…”

“…Previous studies reported mostly normal ERGs in 17 patients, but these were recorded in different studies with various and partially unknown methods. [13][14][15]18,19,21,22,28 In recent years, the multifocal ERG has been established for the evaluation of macular function. 32,38 So far, seven patients with AVMD have been examined.…”
