Abstract
INTRODUCTION: The anatomic localization of reticular pseudodrusen (RPD) has been an important area of research study. METHODS: A multimodal imaging analysis was conducted of two patients who were classified as having presumed RPD. RESULTS: Analysis of case 1 lends credence to original histopathologic evidence suggesting a choroidal origin of RPD, and analysis of case 2 supports RPD as originating above the RPE. CONCLUSION: This case series demonstrates that RPD may represent a compilation of diseases rather than one distinct clinical entity.
