Age-related macular degeneration is a major cause of serious vision loss. The earliest stages of age-related maculopathy may be defined by the size of the drusen present in the macula and the effects on vision. Further manifestations may include soft drusen, choroidal neovascularisation, macular haemorrhage and cicatricial or disciform degeneration of the macula. This report describes a patient with a macular haemorrhage, a choroidal neovascular membrane and serious loss of vision. In addition, the pathogenesis, diagnosis and treatment options of macular degeneration are reviewed.
年龄相关性黄斑变性是严重视力丧失的主要原因。年龄相关性黄斑病变的最早阶段可由黄斑区出现的玻璃膜疣大小及其对视力的影响来界定。进一步的表现可能包括软性玻璃膜疣、脉络膜新生血管、黄斑出血以及黄斑的瘢痕性或盘状变性。本报告描述了一名患有黄斑出血、脉络膜新生血管膜和严重视力丧失的患者。此外，还对黄斑变性的发病机制、诊断和治疗选择进行了综述。
