| Abstract |
Angioid streaks (AS) are the most common ocular manifestation in patients with pseudoxanthoma elasticum (PXE). The major cause of severe visual loss in patients with AS is choroidal neovascularization (CNV). We report the optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) findings of CNV in a patient with PXE and angioid streaks. A 51-year-old man with PXE presented with visual disturbance in his right eye. Best corrected visual acuity was 20/30 OD and 20/30 OS. Funduscopic examination revealed angioid streaks and type 1 NV in his right eye. Multimodal imaging including OCTA demonstrated CNV nasal to the fovea. The morphology and configuration of CNV followed the path of the AS. OCTA combined with other multimodal imaging modalities may be a useful tool for diagnosing CNV secondary to angioid streaks in patients with pseudoxanthoma elasticum. The configuration of CNV in these may follow the path of angioid streaks implicating Bruch's membrane disruption as an important anatomical change in the pathogenesis of CNV. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 30 August 2015.
All research outputs
#20,290,425
of 22,826,360 outputs
Outputs from International Journal of Retina and Vitreous
#139
of 213 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#220,961
of 264,090 outputs
Outputs of similar age from International Journal of Retina and Vitreous
#3
of 10 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,826,360 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 213 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 3.2. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 264,090 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 10 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has scored higher than 7 of them.
