- Description
- 49 year-old male with a history of Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus, past ocular history significant for proliferative diabetic retinopathy of both eyes. Left eye significant for a unique, "lizard-shaped" pre-retinal hemorrhage in an area of neovascularization. Note the corresponding fluorescein angiography which demonstrates blockage from hemorrhage and significant posterior non-perfusion, in addition to tufts of neovascularization which are hyperfluorescent.
