Abstract

The purpose of this study was to describe the morphology of early choroidal neovascularisation (CNV) and compare the findings in two patients, in the first of whom the vessels appeared inactive and in the second progressive. Changes common to both included a diffuse deposition of membrane coils external to the basement membrane (BsM) of the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE), and macrophages and foreign body giant cells beneath thinned segments of Bruch's membrane (BrM). In the first patient small activated vessels surrounded by enlarged pericytes were found in the choroid beneath these areas and pursued a convoluted course, bulging into or through BrM, but without spreading in the sub-RPE space. This choroidal phase of CNV may be common and unrecognised. In the second patient there was spread of CNV in the sub-RPE space with extravasation of red cells and fibrin. The tips leaking fibrin were covered by a thick BsM-like material and naked endothelial cells were not seen. Pericytes were absent here but were observed at the non-leaking edge. The difference in activity of CNV in the two patients appeared to correlate with the quantity of membranous debris present.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
