vitelliform

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.
