Acquired vitelliform lesions are lesions found in a variety of macular conditions including age related macular degeneration. They can masquerade as a choroidal neovascular membrane leading to unnecessary treatment. Individuals with acquired vitelliform lesions in the setting of age-related macular degeneration have an equal gender distribution and commonly present with good visual acuity. There is an inverse correlation of the relationship between visual acuity and the integrity of the ellipsoid zone. In the setting of age-related macular degeneration, eyes with acquired vitelliform lesions have a higher risk of developing macular neovascularization.
