- Description
- This asymptomatic lesion in a 27-year-old woman is a very interesting example of a cystic retinal tuft. Note the discrete white nubbin, which is the chief characteristic of this lesion. In this case, it is surrounded by a small area of subretinal fluid. The next slide pair will reveal the reason for this.
