Purpose
Patients with pseudoxanthoma elasticum (PXE) develop calcification of Bruch's membrane (BM) and choroidal thinning, as well as calcification of intracranial arteries, leading to arterial stiffness. We investigated whether arterial stiffness is associated with choroidal thinning in PXE patients, besides the presumed effect of BM calcification.
Methods
Cross‐sectional study with 75 PXE patients...
Purpose
Progressive calcification of Bruch’s membrane (BM) causes considerable visual morbidity in patients with pseudoxanthoma elasticum (PXE). Since calcification is hyperreflective in SD‐OCT imaging, our aim was to quantify BM calcification using SD‐OCT.
Methods
We performed a ‘proof of concept’ study with 45 PXE patients under 40 years and 25 age‐matched controls. Spectralis HRA‐OCT imaging...
