Abstract:
Retinal angiomatous proliferation(RAP) is a special type of age-related macular degeneration (AMD) with a pathological process of neovascularization.Different with several types of neovascular AMD,the new blood vessel in RAP is believed to originate from the inner retinal circulation.Because of inadequate knowledge,there still exist some limited understanding for this disease,such as its clinical diagnosis,therapy effectiveness and its poor prognosis.The newest interpretation about RAP was based on the findings of indocyanine green angiography(ICGA) and the first generation of optical coherence tomography (OCT) imaging system.The stage,histogenesis,histopathology,nature process,fundus findings,differentiating diagnosis and treatrnent of RAP were reviewed.
