ARMD with RPE rip, FA, showing window defect and blockage from retracted RPE layer.

Condition/keywords: retinal pigment epithelium, retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) tear, retracted retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) layer

Oct 22 2012 by Ronald C. Gentile, MD

Early fluorescein angiography revealed early hyper-fluorescence surrounding the fovea consistent with retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) depigmentation. This accentuated the contrast between the normal blockage (hypo-fluorescence) of the macular luteal pigment from the surrounding RPE window defect (hyper-fluorescence).

49-year-old female referred for presumed ocular melanoma. On examination was noted to have darkly pigmented lesion in the temporal retina of left eye. Lesion had characteristic scalloped edges with central lacunae, however, on ultrasonography was noted to have 1.8mm of elevation with high internal reflectivity. IVFA shows absence of dual circulation with areas of window defect. Findings were consistent with those described by Shields et al., in their April 2001 article in Archives of Ophthalmology.

A 40-year-old female presented with sudden onset decreased vision in right eye. BCVA: CF 1 mt. Fundus showed massive subretinal exudation with haemorrhage. EDI OCT showed notched PEDs with shallow SRF and exudation with back-shadowing. FFA shows leak with window defects. ICG shows hotspot in late phase. Polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy (PCV) is a retinal disorder characterized by the presence of aneurysmal polypoidal lesions in the choroidal vasculature, resulting in damage to the overlying retina and loss of retinal pigment epithelium. The aneurysmal dilatations, also known as polyps, may be found subfoveal, juxtafoveal, extrafoveal, peripapillary or even peripheral regions. The polypoidal lesions are best detected on indocyanine green angiography as hotspots in late phase. The presence of choroidal polyps can lead to recurrent episodes of exudative retinal detachment, serous or hemorrhagic pigment epithelial detachment, subretinal hemorrhage and exudation. Treatment is available in form of laser/PDT along with Anti VEGF injection.
