Retinal pigment epithelium and age‐related macular degeneration…
Damage to the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) is considered to be a hallmark of AMD. There are several changes to the RPE and its surrounding microenvironment; however, some of these changes also occur over the course of normal ageing in the eye.

2024年12月20日 · An extensive area of geographic, submacular pigment atrophy involves the entire posterior retina between the temporal retinal vascular arcades. The underlying choroidal vasculature is more prominent when the pigment epithelium is absent or atrophic.
Progression of Retinal Pigment Epithelial Atrophy in …
Significant atrophy of the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) was frequently apparent beneath regions of subretinal fluid (Top; dotted rectangle) or intraretinal cysts (Top; dashed rectangle), specifically detectable by polarization-sensitive optical coherence tomography.
Retinal Pigment Epithelial and Outer Retinal Atrophy in Age …
Our results indicate that the severity of retinal pigment epithelium and outer retina atrophy (RORA), indirectly quantified through the detection of SRI areas by commercial OCT algorithms, is correlated with central retinal dysfunction, as determined by visual acuity and fERG, supporting the combined use of structural exams and functional tests ...
Incomplete Retinal Pigment Epithelial and Outer Retinal Atrophy …
2019年3月22日 · Areas of absent autofluorescence signal (787 nm) indicate complete retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) and outer retinal atrophy (cRORA). Yellow line crosses an area of mottled autofluorescence shown on histologic analysis.
OCT Signs of Early Atrophy in Age-Related Macular Degeneration ...
2021年2月17日 · Complete RPE and outer retinal atrophy was defined by the following criteria: (1) a region of choroidal hypertransmission of 250 μm or more in diameter; and (2) a zone of attenuation or disruption of the RPE of 250 μm or more in diameter; and (3) evidence of overlying photoreceptor degeneration, all occurring in the absence of signs of an RPE ...
Consensus Definition for Atrophy Associated with Age-Related …
2017年6月12日 · Recognizing that photoreceptor atrophy can occur without retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) atrophy and that atrophy can undergo an evolution of different stages, 4 terms and histologic candidates were proposed: complete RPE and outer retinal atrophy (cRORA), incomplete RPE and outer retinal atrophy, complete outer retinal atrophy, and incomplete ...
development of complete RPE and outer retinal atrophy (cRORA) in age-related macular degeneration (AMD). We provide descriptive OCT and histologic examples of disease progression.

2025年1月8日 · Geographic Atrophy’s Effect on Vision . This advanced stage of dry AMD is characterized by an accumulation of drusen, a loss of photoreceptor cells, retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) changes, and retinal and choroidal atrophy, leading to distinct atrophic lesions in the macula that often increase with time. 3 Once GA begins, progression can be rapid and …

The areas of RPE atrophy are hypoautofluorescent (dark gray or black), the areas of “sick” RPE are hyperautofluorescent (brighter than background), and the areas of healthy RPE are gray. C, Corresponding near-infrared reflectance image in the same patient (left).
