Assessing the prevalence of extensive macular atrophy with pseudodrusen-like appearance in patients with rheumatic fever-associated valvular heart disease: a cross-sectional study [PDF]
Background Extensive macular atrophy with pseudodrusen-like appearance (EMAP) is a rare retinal disorder characterized by bilateral macular atrophy and subretinal drusenoid deposits (SDDs), typically occurring earlier and progressing faster than age ...

Association between Subretinal Drusenoid Deposits and Age-Related Macular Degeneration in Multimodal Retinal Imaging. [PDF]
Multimodal retinal imaging enables the detection of subretinal drusenoid deposits (SDD) with significantly greater accuracy compared to fundus photography. The study aimed to analyze a relationship between the presence of SDD, the clinical picture of AMD, and disease progression in a 3 year follow-up.

Internal Carotid Artery Stenosis and Ipsilateral Subretinal Drusenoid Deposits. [PDF]
Subretinal drusenoid deposits (SDDs) in age-related macular degeneration (AMD) are strongly associated with vasculopathies such as myocardial infarction and ischemic stroke. This study evaluates ischemic stroke subjects for SDDs to determine whether ocular hypoperfusion from internal carotid artery (ICA) stenosis is associated with ipsilateral SDDs.A ...

Spatial Dissociation of Subretinal Drusenoid Deposits and Impaired Scotopic and Mesopic Sensitivity in AMD. [PDF]
Subretinal drusenoid deposits (SDD) first appear in the rod-rich perifovea and can extend to the cone-rich fovea. To refine the spatial relationship of visual dysfunction with SDD burden, we determined the topography of mesopic and scotopic light sensitivity in participants with non-neovascular AMD with and without SDD.Thirty-three subjects were ...

Prevalence and determinants of subretinal drusenoid deposits in patients' first-degree relatives. [PDF]
Abstract Purpose Subretinal drusenoid deposits (SDDs) are distinct extracellular alteration anterior to the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE). Given their commonly uniform phenotype, a hereditary predisposition seems likely. Hence, we aim to investigate prevalence and determinants in patients’ first-degree relatives.

Subretinal Drusenoid Deposit Formation: Insights From Turing Patterns
The purpose of this study was to demonstrate that the organized formation of subretinal drusenoid deposits (SDDs) may be a Turing pattern.A Java-based computational model of an inferred reaction-diffusion system using paired partial differential equations was used to create topographic images.

Photoreceptor disease results in irreparable vision loss and blindness, which has a dramatic impact on quality of life. Pathogenic mutations in RP1L1 lead to photoreceptor degenerations such as occult macular dystrophy and retinitis pigmentosa.
