Q

What are the angiographic findings that can be seen both in APMPPE and serpiginous choroidopathy?

A

Early hypofluoresence and then late hyperfluorescence. Serpiginous tends to affect deeper choroid which may help distinguish.

Q

Which of the three limiting membranes of the retina (ILM, MLM, XLM) is a true membrane? What are the locations of the other two?

Q

Where does drusen accumulate?

A

Between RPE and bruchs membrane (technically the inner aspect of bruchs membrane which is the inner collagenous layer)

A

soft

23
Q

Cuticular drusen

A

innumerable and homogenous round drusen that are small or large 1st apparent in a patient in their 30-40’s. type of familial drusen. VA often stable but drusen can involve fovea
