Abstract
Pseudoxanthoma elasticum (PXE) is a hereditary disease characterized by skin, ocular, and cardiovascular lesions. Its prognosis depends mainly on the ocular and vascular lesions. This study included 11 patients with PXE. All patients had an ophthalmologic examination. All patients had ocular lesions. Seven (63%) had angioid streaks and two, macular lesions. One patient had bilateral intrapapillary drusen (of the optic nerve head). Ocular lesions in PXE had substantial diagnostic value. Ocular complications affect functional prognosis. These patients must undergo routine ophthalmologic examinations to look for ocular manifestations and their complications.
