    Description
    Left eye pseudocolor fundus image of a 57 year old patient with poorly controlled diabetes mellitus, presenting with BE tractional retinal detachment (TRD) on a background of high risk proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR). The disc, macula and posterior pole anatomy is obscured and distorted by the extensive tractional fibrovascular component, giving the appearance of a crumpled napkin on this patient's retina.
