- Description
- This lattice lesion in a 27-year-old woman shows an interesting change in the middle of the lesion. The predominant feature on the left side of the lesion is the snailtrack appearance while the right side of the lesion shows mainly a reddish crater. Note the many yellow dots above the surface of the retina which are actually located in the vitreous condensation which surrounds the pocket of liquified vitreous over the lesion.
