Figure 2. Solitary SDD affect overlying inner segments and may have outer segment debris.

Figure 2.

INL, inner nuclear layer; OPL, outer plexiform layer; HFL, Henle fiber layer; ONL, outer nuclear layer; IS, inner segment; OS, outer segment; RPE, retinal pigment epithelium; BrM, Bruch membrane; Green arrowheads, ELM, external limiting membrane; Red arrowheads, SDD, subretinal drusenoid deposits. Scale bar in (B) applies to all panels. A. 900 μm temporal. A solitary mound of SDD is located in the sub-retinal space. Due to artefactual compaction, OS are seen as cross-sections. OS are reduced on top of the SDD (compare to OS at the right of the SDD). Some photoreceptor IS are short (teal arrowhead). Eighty-three-year-old woman. B. 1800 μm nasal A large solitary mound of SDD is located above RPE of very non-uniform thickness. Photoreceptors OS are short on the top of SDD and deflected by SDD (purple arrowhead), with visible disks. Numerous photoreceptor OS remains, some with disks, form a cap on the surface of the SDD (yellow frame, also yellow inset and yellow arrowhead). Some photoreceptor IS are short (teal arrowhead). Eighty-six-year-old man.
