- Description
- Senile macular degeneration with disciform scar. A retinal arteriole (asterisk) extends into the subretinal component of the scar, through a break in the thickened and detached inner layer of Bruch's membrane, and then into the vascularized intra-Bruch's-membrane component of the scar. Study of serial sections disclosed this retinal vessel to anastomose with the choroidal vessel (arrow) which extends through a branch in Bruch's membrane.
