Large Colloid Drusen in Young Patient
Mehdi Khamaily*, Imane Tarib, Yassine Mouzari, Joumany Brahim Salem, Taoufik Abdellaoui, Fouad El Asri, Karim Reda and Abdelbarre OubaazReceived: 02-Jul-2020 Published: 22-Jul-2020, DOI: 10.35248/2684-1622.20.5.138
Abstract
Drusen are yellow or white accumulations of extracellular material made up of lipids and proteins, that build up
between basal blade of retinal pigment epithelium and collagen layer of Bruch’s membrane.
They are the most common clinical manifestation of aging and usually occur in the population over 50 years old,
however a special entity may occur earlier, especially Large Colloid Drusen.
Large Colloid Drusen most often develops in women with no family history of retinopathy, with a low risk of
choroidal neovascularization or significant loss of visual acuity.
We report the case of a 45 years old female patient, with no prior ophthalmological or general history, who presented
to the consultation for decreased near visual acuity.

Study Description
The far visual acuity was 20/20 OU without correction, examination of the anterior segment was normal [1-5].
At the Fundoscopy, Large bilateral lesions, yellowish under retinal from the posterior pole to the mid-periphery, (Figure 1) without reaching the extreme retinal periphery Figure 2.
