| Popis: | Pseudodrusen are pathological deposits that locate in the outer retinal layer. Unlike hard drusen and soft drusen, which are normally observed outside the retina pigment epithelium (RPE) layer, pseudodrusen are detected in the photoreceptor layer of the retina on swept source optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT) images. The characteristic morphology of pseudodrusen is that they are often conical, but can be rounded in some cases. They can also be well documented through the use of blue-light fundus photography and infrared scanning ophthalmoscopes. Clinically, pseudodrusen have been reported to be involved in the development of advanced age-related macular degeneration (AMD); detection is therefore crucial in the effort to prevent visual impairment. |
