Wet macular degeneration
MONDO:0005417A form of RETINAL degeneration in which abnormal CHOROIDAL NEOVASCULARIZATION occurs under the RETINA and MACULA LUTEA, causing bleeding and leaking of fluid. This leads to bulging and or lifting of the macula and the distortion or destruction of central vision.
Also known as: exudative senile macular degeneration of retina, wet AMD, wet ARMD, wet age related macular degeneration, Kuhnt-Junius degeneration
