Figure 1.

View larger version (100K): [in this window] [in a new window]   Figure 1. A 22-year-old man with pseudoxanthoma elasticum and normal visual acuity was found to have bilateral angioid streaks. These vessel-like streaks (arrowheads) are breaks in Bruch's membrane beneath the retina. They can threaten vision if subretinal neovascularization develops and causes subretinal leakage of serous fluid or blood. Neovascularization can be treated with laser therapy.
