Purpose:To report three middle-aged cases with choroidal neovascularization (CNV) associated with early-onset drusen documented with optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA).Methods:Three patients with bilateral early-onset drusen were referred to our hospital. Fundus examination, fluorescein angiography, indocyanine green angiography, OCTA, and other multimodal imaging were performed.Results:Case 1 involved a 47-year-old woman who presented with sudden unilateral anorthopia. She had no previous systemic pathologies. Funduscopic examination and fluorescein angiography revealed bilateral large colloid drusen accompanied by unilateral mild subretinal hemorrhage. Indocyanine green angiography revealed CNV, although it was unclear in fluorescein angiography. Optical coherence tomography angiography also showed interconnecting CNV beneath the retinal pigment epithelium. Case 2 involved a 40-year-old woman with membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis Type 3 who presented with unilateral anorthopia. On fluorescein angiography, cuticular drusen secondary to membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis were seen in both eyes. An interconnecting vascular network was revealed with OCTA and indocyanine green angiography indicating Type 1 CNV in the affected eye. Case 3 involved a 47-year-old man without any medical or family history. Predominant large colloid drusen associated with cuticular drusen were seen in both eyes. Unilateral mild serosanguinous changes were accompanied in the macula, where Type 1 CNV was detected with OCTA.Conclusion:All our cases with early-onset drusen showed Type 1 CNV that was detected by indocyanine green angiography or OCTA. Optical coherence tomography angiography has a potential to help noninvasively diagnose CNV in the cases of EOD.
