Abstract
Chorioretinal folds are most commonly idiopathic. Radial chorioretinal folds can be a sign of choroidal neovascularization. A case of bilateral radial chorioretinal folds as a presenting sign of age-related macular degeneration is reported. This patient has maintained good visual acuity in one eye in which the only sign of occult choroidal neovascularization is the presence of chorioretinal folds and minimal leakage on fluorescein angiography.
