To evaluate the quantitative and topographic relationship between reticular pseudodrusen (RPD) on infrared reflectance (IR) and subretinal drusenoid deposits (SDD) on en face volumetric spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT). RPD were marked on IR images by a masked observer. SDD were visualized on en-face sections of SD-OCT below the external limiting membrane and identified by a semi-automated technique. Control RPD lesions were generated in a random distribution for each IR image. Binary maps of control and experimental RPD and SDD were merged and analyzed in terms of topographic localization and quantitative drusen load comparison. A total of 54 eyes of 41 patients diagnosed with RPD were included in this study. The average number of RPD lesions on IR images was 320±44.62 compared to 127±26.02 SDD lesions on en-face (P<0.001). The majority of RPD lesions did not overlap with SDD lesions, and were located greater than 30 microns away (92%). The percentage of total SDD lesions overlapping RPD was 2.91±0.87% compared to 1.73±0.68% overlapping control RPD lesions (P<0.05). The percentage of total SDD lesions between 1-3 pixels of the nearest RPD lesion was 5.08±1.40% compared to 3.33±1.07% between 1-3 pixels of the nearest control RPD lesion (P<0.05). This study identified significantly more RPD lesions on IR compared with SDD lesions on en-face SD-OCT and found that a large majority of SDD (>90% of lesions) were greater than 30 microns away from the nearest RPD. Together, our findings indicate that RPD and SDD are two entities that are only occasionally topographically associated, suggesting that at some stage in their development, they may be pathologically related.
