- Description
- This ultra-widefield fundus photo of the right eye demonstrates proliferative sickle cell retinopathy resulting in severe visual loss for a young man eventually requiring vitrectomy. Central vitreous hemorrhage and subhyaloid hemorrhage covers the macula (white arrow), causing profound vision loss. A fibrotic, regressed, sea fan neovascularization complex is present in the temporal periphery (green arrow). Subretinal fluid is present in the temporal retinal periphery within the area between the fibrosed sea fan lesion and the posterior preretinal hemorrhage (yellow arrow), likely due to traction or a retinal break obscured by the heme.
