Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
A 73-year-old woman developed multiple depigmented lesions in the fundus 4-6 months after an episode of acute Herpes zoster ophthalmicus. Post-mortem examination of the globe 15 years after this acute episode confirmed multiple old chorioretinal scars probably due to vasculitis of the short posterior ciliary arteries and branches. Patchy old infarcts were also noted in the iris. |
