PURPOSE To describe the clinical characteristics of two patients affected by extensive macular atrophy with pseudodrusen-like (EMAP). METHODS Two patients affected by EMAP underwent multimodal imaging, including fundus autofluorescence and optical coherence tomography. RESULTS The patients showed the typical clinical appearance with macular atrophy with larger vertical axis surrounded by pseudodrusen-like deposits involving the midperiphery, associated with paving stone lesions in the retinal periphery. CONCLUSION EMAP is a complex condition sharing clinical characteristics of age-related macular degeneration. Further studies are warranted to identify the early biomarker of the disease.
