Altersabhängige Makuladegeneration

Zusammenfassung

Die altersabhängige Makuladegeneration (AMD) ist eine progrediente Erkrankung des zentralen Netzhaut-/Pigmentepithel-/Aderhaut-Komplexes. Eine AMD liegt vor, wenn eine oder mehrere der nachgenannten Veränderungen im Bereich der Makula vorliegen:

  • weiche Drusen: gelbliche Ablagerungen, ≥63 µm zwischen dem retinalen Pigmentepithel und der Bruch-Membran,

  • Hyper- oder Hypopigmentationen des retinalen Pigmentepithels,

  • geographische Atrophie des retinalen Pigmentepithels: scharf begrenzte Gebiete einer Atrophie des retinalen Pigmentepithels und der Choriokapillaris,

  • neovaskuläre Makuladegeneration: choroidale Neovaskularisation, seröse oder hämorrhagische Abhebung des retinalen Pigmentepithels oder spätere Vernarbung der Makula in Form einer disziformen Narbe.
