  • Look Inside

We evaluated 36 eyes, 33 cases, diagnosed as the subretinal cyst type of senile disciform macular degeneration. This condition was clinically char-acterized by bullous pigment epithelial detachment (PED).

These 36 eyes comprised 12% of a larger group of 309 eyes, 256 cases, diagnosed as senile disciform macular degeneration in our clinic during the past 5 years. Typically, PED was 2 to 3 disc diameters in size and was accompanied by serous retinal detach-ment or susbretinal hemorrhage involving the macula. Choroidal neovascularization often failed to manifest within PED by fluorescein angiography. We treated the detected neovascularization outside the PED in 18 eyes by photocoagulation. Improve-ment in visual acuity or fundus finding resulted in 3 eyes, 16%. Tear in the retinal pigment epithelium developed in 2 eyes. In one half of the eyes without photocoagulation, visual acuity deteriorated due to serous retinal detachment, hard exudate or su-bretinal hemorrhage. It is concluded that photocoagulation is not effective in eyes with bul-lous PED as manifestation of senile disciform macular degeneration.
