Optical coherence tomography appearance of "drusenoid" pigment epithelial detachment

Ophthalmic Surg Lasers Imaging. 2005 Mar-Apr;36(2):147-50.

Abstract

A case of bilateral "drusenoid" pigment epithelial detachment that was studied with fundus fluorescein angiography and optical coherence tomography is described. Fundus fluorescein angiography depicted staining of the drusen without any sign of pooling of the dye, whereas optical coherence tomography displayed detachment of the retinal pigment epithelium. These findings remained unchanged during a 10-month period.
