Abstract

Angioid streaks are a rare ocular fundus finding most commonly associated with generalised elastic tissue disorders. They may be associated with a number of other systemic diseases including sickle cell anaemia, Paget's disease and the Ehlers-Danlos syndrome. However, angioid streaks also occur as an isolated finding in apparently healthy individuals. Four patients having angioid streaks are illustrated; two cases were associated with pseudoxanthoma elasticum and two had no known systemic disease. A review is presented of the clinical features of angioid streaks, together with suggestions for the management of these patients.
