Abstract:  Lipoprotein-derived debris accumulated between photoreceptors and retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) is called subretinal drusenoid deposits or reticular pseudodrusen, which is very common clinically but usually misrecognized as drusen. Reticular pseudodrusen is associated with retinal angiomatous proliferation and outer retinal atrophy.  (Ophthalmol CHN, 2022, 31: 413-418)

Key words:  subretinal drusenoid deposits, reticular pseudodrusen, age-related macular degeneration
