Purpose:
To describe the clinical characteristics of two patients affected by extensive macular atrophy with pseudodrusen-like (EMAP).
Methods:
Two patients affected by EMAP underwent multimodal imaging, including fundus autofluorescence and optical coherence tomography.
Results:
The patients showed the typical clinical appearance with macular atrophy with larger vertical axis surrounded by pseudodrusen-like deposits involving the midperiphery, associated with paving stone lesions in the retinal periphery.
Conclusion:
EMAP is a complex condition sharing clinical characteristics of age-related macular degeneration. Further studies are warranted to identify the early biomarker of the disease.
