- Description
- Sickle-cell retinopathy with iridescent spot in the macula. This lesion has an orange-yellow appearance when seen grossly (upper left). Histopathologically, there is an acquired schisis cavity in which hemosiderin-laden macrophages are present. Special staining shows iron deposition in the tissues of the wall of this schisis cavity and in the macrophages within the cavity (lower right).
