    This may be partly explained by the frequency of spontaneous regression through the development of atrophic or autoinfarcted lesions, which is recognized as a frequent and important determinant of the natural history of PSR. Regression has been documented by serial angiography 38,149,168 and is more common in SS-type than in SC-type disease.38 Probable mechanisms that contribute to spontaneous regression include changes in pigment epithelial growth factor (PEDF)/VEGF regulation.114
