ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
To report the presence of retinal angiomatous proliferation (RAP) in an eye with cuticular drusen detected by fluorescein and indocyanine green angiography by confocal scanning laser ophthalmoscopy and by spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT).METHODS:
Case report of a 65-year-old Japanese woman with cuticular drusen.RESULTS:
At her first ophthalmic examination, her visual acuity was 20/20 in both eyes. An ophthalmoscopy showed many small subretinal pigment epithelial deposits in both eyes. These deposits had a 'saw-tooth pattern' in the SD-OCT images. During the follow-up examination, retinal hemorrhages were observed, and fluorescein angiography showed a 'stars-in-the-sky' appearance and intraretinal neovascularization. The patient was diagnosed with cuticular drusen associated with RAP.CONCLUSION:
We suggest that the cuticular drusen were associated with RAP, so periodic follow-up examinations are needed for patients with cuticular drusen for the early detection and treatment of RAP.
