AVL

Acquired Vitelliform Lesions (AVL) are characterized by subretinal yellowish deposits and can be assessed using fundus autofluorescence (FAF). FAF imaging shows hyperautofluorescence in the lesion area due to lipofuscin accumulation. Over time, hypoautofluorescence may appear as the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) degenerates, making FAF essential for monitoring disease progression.

Acquired vitelliform lesions can develop due to vitreomacular traction syndrome. Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) reveals the presence of subretinal hyperreflective material and vitreomacular interface abnormalities. Fundus autofluorescence (FAF) highlights the accumulation of lipofuscin, providing further detail on the lesion’s composition and progression.

Acquired vitelliform lesions (AVL) linked to Age-related Macular Degeneration (AMD) present as yellowish round subretinal deposits detectable on fundus examination. Fundus Autofluorescence (FAF) imaging is crucial for AVL detection, showing increased autofluorescence due to lipofuscin accumulation in retinal pigment epithelial cells. These lesions differ from typical AMD deposits and can signify an advanced AMD stage. Understanding AVL’s FAF characteristics helps in differential diagnosis and monitoring AMD progression.
