- Description
- Retrolental fibroplasia. In this acute case, postmortem examination disclosed small areas of retinal neovascularization (arrows) extending into the vitreous (upper left and right). Trypsin digestion of the same case disclosed a line of intense endothelial-cell proliferation at the junction of vascularized and nonvascularized retina (lower left). In some areas these proliferative changes occurred in an intraretinal sea fan-like configuration (lower right).
