Bacillary Layer Detachment in Neovascular Age-Related Macular Degeneration: Case Series

Biomedicines. 2023 Mar 22;11(3):988. doi: 10.3390/biomedicines11030988.

Abstract

Purpose: This study seeks to report the clinical and multimodal imaging findings of eight eyes of seven patients with neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD) who developed bacillary layer detachment (BALAD). Setting/Venue: The patients were analysed at the Western Eye Hospital in London, UK.

Methods: The approaches of this research include clinical examinations and multimodal imaging-based description of cases of nAMD with BALAD.

Results: We report multimodal imaging findings of bacillary layer detachment (BALAD) in patients with nAMD.

Conclusions: A bacillary layer detachment was detected in patients with neovascular age-related macular degeneration. This multimodal imaging finding is not commonly described in the literature for this disease.

Keywords: age-related macular degeneration; anti-VEGF; bacillary layer detachment; intravitreal injections; macula; myoid; neovascular AMD; retina; retinal haemorrhage.
