Angioid streaks

Dark, wavy, anastomosing striae lying beneath retinal vessels.


A dark streak seen in the retina that represents a defect in Bruch’s membrane. It is often an age-related phenomenon but sometimes is seen in connective tissue diseases, like pseudoxanthoma elasticum, or hemoglobinopathies, such as sickle cell anemia.


Gray, orange, or red undulating and interconnected lines observed within Bruch’s membrane.
