Outer Retinal Tubulation and Neovascular Age-Related Macular Degeneration: A Review of the Pathogenesis and Clinical Implications.

Authors:
Nadyr A Damasceno Eduardo F Damasceno Fabiana Q Silva Rishi P Singh

Ophthalmic Surg Lasers Imaging Retina 2018 11;49(11):870-876

Outer retinal tubulation (ORT) is a retinal finding that can mimic intraretinal fluid and has been identified with spectral-domain optical coherence tomography in patients with age-related macular degeneration (AMD). The purpose of this review is to summarize the findings related to the pathogenesis of ORT and its clinical implications. Studies reporting the pathogenesis and the clinical implications of ORT in patients with AMD were identified and summarized. A total of 18 studies were included in this review. The body of evidence to date regarding ORT in patients with AMD indicates that ORT is a structure associated with advanced macular diseases that does not require anti-vascular endothelial growth factor treatment.
