To investigate the histology of Bruch’s membrane (BM) calcification in pseudoxanthoma elasticum (PXE) and correlate this to clinical retinal imaging. Experimental study with clinicopathological correlation. Six postmortem eyes from 4 PXE patients and 1 comparison eye from an anonymous donor without PXE. One of the eyes had a multimodal clinical image set for comparison. Calcification was labeled with OsteSense 680RD, a fluorescent dye specific for hydroxyapatite, and visualized with confocal microscopy. Scanning electron microscopy coupled with energy-dispersive x-ray spectroscopy (SEM-EDX) and time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry (TOF-SIMs) were used to analyze the elemental and ionic composition of different anatomical locations. Findings on cadaver tissues were compared with clinical imaging of 1 PXE patient. The characteristics and topographical distribution of hydroxyapatite in BM in eyes with PXE were compared with the clinical manifestations of the disease. Analyses of whole-mount and sectioned PXE eyes revealed an extensive, confluent OsteoSense labeling in the central and midperipheral BM, transitioning to a speckled labeling in the midperiphery. These areas corresponded to hyperreflective and isoreflective zones on clinical imaging. Scanning electron microscopy coupled with energy-dispersive x-ray spectroscopy and TOF-SIMs analyses identified these calcifications as hydroxyapatite in BM of PXE eyes. The confluent fluorescent appearance originates from heavily calcified fibrous structures of both the collagen and the elastic layers of BM. Calcification was also detected in an aged comparison eye, but this was markedly different from PXE eyes and presented as small snowflake-like deposits in the posterior pole. Pseudoxanthoma elasticum eyes show extensive hydroxyapatite deposition in the inner and outer collagenous and elastic BM layers in the macula with a gradual change toward the midperiphery, which seems to correlate with the clinical phenotype. The snowflake-like calcification in BM of an aged comparison eye differed markedly from the extensive calcification in PXE.
