    Description
    Reticular degenerative retinoschisis. In this case the process extends posteriorly from the equatorial area to the midperiphery. The gross view (upper left) also shows a band of dark pigmentation due to peripheral retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) hypertrophy, a few areas of paving-stone degeneration within the area of RPE hyper­trophy, and peripheral retinal thinning with focal areas of RPE hyperplasia and migra­tion into the retina.
