Angioid streaks, also called Knapp streaks or Knapp striae, are small breaks in Bruch's membrane, an elastic tissue containing membrane of the retina that may become calcified and crack.[2] Up to 50% of angioid streak cases are idiopathic.[3] It may occur secondary to blunt trauma, or it may be associated with many systemic diseases.[4] The condition is usually asymptomatic, but decrease in vision may occur due to choroidal neovascularization.[5]
