Description: Left eye pseudocolor fundus photo showing hyperpigmented irregular lines emanating from the disc in a radiating fashion. Surrounding the angioid streaks and at the posterior pole, we can see numerous dot-like hypopigmented deposits along with a grayish-green membrane with exudates at the macula. The image is suggestive of Angioid Streaks with CNVM.
