With multimodal visualization of the chorioretinal complex structures using modern research methods, it was possible to isolatea mixed, or combined, phenotype of the late stage of age-related macular degeneration (AMD). Early detection of this AMD form is of vital importance not only for accurate diagnosis, but for choosing optimal management tactics for patients. The paper presents two clinical cases with different variants of the development of the mixed phenotype of the late AMD stage. In one case, the long-lasting “geographic atrophy” (GA) was complicated by the development of choroidal neovascularization, while in the other case GA appeared during the treatment of wetAMD.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
