    Description
    Cholesterol emboli to retina and choroid. There is a large microinfarction of the nerve fiber layer (arrows). A cholesterol embolus is lodged in a retinal arteriole (upper right) proximal to the microinfarction. Cholesterol emboli were also found in the choroid, and in one (lower right) erythrocytes (arrow) could be seen in the periphery as they were presumably going around the embolus.
