Abstract

The different appearances of drusen in young subjects could be explained by a different structure and origin. These conditions are closely related to AMD, but their relationship has not been clearly established. We describe cuticular drusen, colloid drusen and dominant drusen .We report a case of macular colloid drusen in a 32 years old woman , incidentally finded , with no complications ; an ophthalmological workup was performed. There was no intervention required and the patient will be monitored for complications. Generally, patients are managed conservatively with observation, unless choroidal neovascularization develops. In this case, anti-VEGF injections have been shown to improve vision and resolve subretinal fluid. Another treatment option is the use of lasers to eliminate the sub-retinal fluid.
