To describe the clinical characteristics of two patients affected by extensive macular atrophy with pseudodrusen-like (EMAP).
Two patients affected by EMAP underwent multimodal imaging, including fundus autofluorescence and optical coherence tomography.
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.
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.
描述 2 例广泛型黄斑萎缩伴假性类 drusen（EMAP）患者的临床特征。
对 2 例 EMAP 患者进行多模态成像，包括眼底自发荧光和光学相干断层扫描。
患者表现出典型的临床特征，即黄斑萎缩伴垂直轴较大，周围有假性类 drusen 样沉积物，累及中周边部，伴视网膜周边铺路石样病变。
EMAP 是一种具有年龄相关性黄斑变性临床特征的复杂疾病。需要进一步研究以确定疾病的早期生物标志物。
