- Description
- Typical degenerative retinoschisis. The gross appearance of the lesion (upper views) is due primarily to the thicker outer layer which has a beaten-metal appearance. Typical PCD surrounds the area of schisis. Histologic sections (lower views) show splitting in the outer plexiform layer and the irregularity of the thicker outer layer.
