[Topographic study of angiographic lesions in central serous retinopathy (author's transl)].

The 595 angiographic lesions observed in 233 eyes of 169 patients affected with central serous retinopathy have been classified upon their localization. 498 angiographic lesions (83.7 percent) are located within a three optic disc diameter area centered by the foveola. Among them 20 are located right behind the foveola, 113 are located in the upper temporal quadrant, 166 in the upper nasal quadrant and 85 in the lower temporal quadrant. The relative density of the angiographic lesions decreases from the center of the macula to the periphery. 97 angiographic lesions (16.3 percent) are located beyond the three optic disc diameter central area. 41.1 percent of the lesions are situated behind the macula or/and behind the papillo-macular bundle. Therefore only 58.9 percent of the angiographic lesions observed in central serous retinopathy can be treated without any risk by means of photocoagulation.

Arachnoiditis

[Gradual disappearance of macular hyalin verrucosities].

Spontaneous gradual absorption of macular colloid bodies can be seen in some patients on retinographies and angiographies routinely made at regular intervals during several years. In some cases the colloid bodies become confluent before resorbing. Confluence of drusen may lead to a large hyalin detachment of the pigment epithelium which should be differienciated from serous detachment. In some other cases small drusens spontaneously disappear without prior confluence. The absorption of samll drusen can lead to a ring shape transitory stage. Usually the natural course eventually leads to a geographic--or areolar--atrophy of the pigment epithelium on the posterior pole.
