Congenital preretinal macular fibrosis. 1975

G N Wise

A 35-year-old woman and a 36-year-old man had asymptomatic, preretinal macular fibrosis involving their left eyes. Both patients were asymptomatic and the lesions were found on routine ocular examination. An opaque gray fibrotic membrane extended toward a lamellar hole in the macular region. Vision, fluorescein angiograms, and Amsler grid testing were normal in both cases. The defect in these two cases possibly arose during early embryonic development and might have been due to a defect produced by adherence of the primary vitreous body to the retina, thus differentiating them from idiopathic preretinal fibrosis,

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008266 Macula Lutea An oval area in the retina, 3 to 5 mm in diameter, usually located temporal to the posterior pole of the eye and slightly below the level of the optic disk. It is characterized by the presence of a yellow pigment diffusely permeating the inner layers, contains the fovea centralis in its center, and provides the best phototropic visual acuity. It is devoid of retinal blood vessels, except in its periphery, and receives nourishment from the choriocapillaris of the choroid. (From Cline et al., Dictionary of Visual Science, 4th ed) Lutea, Macula,Luteas, Macula,Macula Luteas
D008268 Macular Degeneration Degenerative changes in the RETINA usually of older adults which results in a loss of vision in the center of the visual field (the MACULA LUTEA) because of damage to the retina. It occurs in dry and wet forms.
