Diabetic maculopathy.

This paper discusses a special group of diabetics (maturity onset) who present with a particular form of retinopathy. The pathology is restricted to the macular zone with minimal other retinopathic complications such as detachment, proliferans, or neovascularization. One hundred of these patients with circinate rings of perimacular exudate with edema have characterized and compared to a similar number of patients with diabetic retinopathy without circinate exudates.
