Reticular Pseudodrusen Associated With a Diseased Bruch Membrane in Pseudoxanthoma Elasticum

Abstract

These data suggest that RPD have a high prevalence in eyes of patients with PXE. Although RPD in patients with PXE occur at a younger age, their distribution and phenotype appear to be similar to RPD associated with age-related macular degeneration. The association with diseased Bruch membrane in PXE suggests a pathogenetic role of Bruch membrane alterations for the development of RPD.
