- Description
- Elschnig spot. Localized choroidal infarction with loss of choriocapillaris, RPE, and outer layers of the retina. The thinned inner nuclear layer of the retina rests against Bruch's membrane. At the anterior margin (lower left view) there is an abrupt transition (arrow) between the normal area (left) where the choriocapillaris and RPE are intact and the area of post-ischemic atrophy of the structures (right). A similar but reversed configuration is observed at the posterior margin (lower right view).
