Cuticular drusen would be expressed as abundant small yellowish and semi-translucent lesions in the macular area of young adult patients. Their evolution associates to AVD, formation of choroidal neovascularization and chorioretinal atrophy Plates.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0005">1</a>Clinical caseMale, 30, who visited the emergency section due to sudden onset metamorphopsia in RE.No relevant personal and familial antecedents. All first degree relatives were assessed without finding signs of the disease. Best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) was of 0.6 in both eyes (BE). Ocular tension and anterior pole biomicroscopy were normal.Funduscopy: abundant small yellowish lesions (drusen) disseminated throughout the anterior pole in BE. Central raised injury with yellowish cloudy material (AVD) in LE.Autofluorescence (FA): small hypoautofluorescent lesions surrounded by hyperautofluorescent ring (drusen). The pseudo-vitelliform material appears hyperautofluorescent as it contains lipofuscin or a similar material.Fluorescein angiograph (FA): hyperfluorescent lesions (drusen) next to an initially hypofluorescent inferior lesion (due to the obstruction produced by the pseudo-vitelliform material) and subsequently hyperfluorescent due to slow and late filling (<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs" href="#fig0005">Figs. 1 and 2</a>).<elsevierMultimedia ident="fig0005"></elsevierMultimedia><elsevierMultimedia ident="fig0010"></elsevierMultimedia>Optic coherence tomography (OCT; Cirrus HD-OCT [Carl Zeiss Meditec]): hyper-reflective sawtooth image (cuticular drusen), next to soft drusen in the pigment subepithelial space. Neuroepithelium detachment in BE, more extensive and with more reflective material in its core in LE (<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs" href="#fig0015">Figs. 3 and 4</a>).<elsevierMultimedia ident="fig0015"></elsevierMultimedia><elsevierMultimedia ident="fig0020"></elsevierMultimedia>Due to the extensive metamorphopsia exhibited in RE, it was decided to treat with 3 anti-VEGF intravitreal injections (bevacizumab [Avastin]), observing functional and anatomical improvement. After verifying a positive result in the RE, the same treatment was repeated in LE, observing slight functional but not anatomical improvements. BCVA improved to 0.8 in RE and 0.7 in LE, while metamorphopsia disappeared in RE (<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs" href="#fig0015">Figs. 3 and 4</a>).DiscussionBasal cuticular or laminar drusen are described as a general RPE dysfunction which express ophthalmoscopically as multiple and small lesions (25–75μ) disseminated throughout the posterior pole. Histologically, it was believed these were nodular excrescences of the internal portion of Bruch's membrane. Russell et al. demonstrated that their location, structure and composition are similar to the drusen associated to age-related macular degeneration (ARMD).<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0010">2</a> Their appearance is earlier (young adults) and half of cases develop acquired vitelliform detachment of a size exceeding 1, 500μm larger than that appearing in the course of adult pseudo-vitelliform dystrophy. New imaging techniques (FA and OCT) enabled diagnostic precision. OCT allowed optimum identification of AVD walls, nodular images (drusen in the pigment subepithelial space) in the external and internal walls (neurosensory retina) undamaged over the drusen and AVD. Amorphous vitelliform material is generally highly reflective and even so OCT enabled positive visualization of adjacent structures.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0015">3</a> It is believed that this autofluorescent vitelliform material is made up of retinoids derived from phagocytosis of photoreceptor external segments.Half of said AVD associated to cuticular drusen resolve spontaneously in a period of one or 2 years. However, the persistence of this AVD facilitates the development of CNV in one third of cases or could leave geographical atrophy plates with the ensuing loss of vision.In 2007, Montero et al.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0020">4</a> and, in 2009 Lee et al.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0025">5</a> reported the efficacy of bevacizumab treatment in adult pseudo-vitelliform foveomacular dystrophy clinical cases. As the patient of this case was young and exhibited significant and sudden metamorphopsia in RE, and even though we did not objectively verify signs of CNV in any of the supplementary tests, we decided to treat with intravitreal bevacizumab injections. As in the above mentioned reports, we observed anatomical improvements and discrete functional improvement.It has been demonstrated “in vitro” that RPE cells express the vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF-A) and cuticular drusen are due to a generalized dysfunction of these cells. Accordingly, the beneficial role of anti-VEGF medication could be suggested. On the other hand, in this specific case, the enhanced anatomical response in RE could be due to greater RPE integrity and therefore of its function as a metabolic pump.The authors consider that this treatment could be effective for speeding up the reapplication of AVD, diminishing atrophy eschars and possibly avoiding CNV formation.Conflict of interestsNo conflict of interests has been declared by the authors."

Archivos de la Sociedad Española de Oftalmología is the official journal of the Ophthalmology Society of Spain, that has over 4,000 members. It gives priority to the publication of basic, translational and clinic research including reviews, original articles, short communications, editorials, letters to the editor and clinic practice guides related to Ophthalmology and its subspecialties. A small section of the journal is reserved for the most relevant papers presented at the annual Congress of the Society. All manuscripts considered for publication are reviewed by expert examiner peers (double blind). The journal is published monthly and even though its official language is Spanish all articles are translated into English to increase the dissemination of scientific information. At present, Archivos is the only Spanish language Ophthalmology journal indexed in PubMed/MEDLINE in addition to other prestigious international databases such as Scopus.
