Fig. 17. A 27-year-old man with homozygous sickle cell anemia. A. A small amount of fluorescein leakage is seen from an arteriole in the inferior nasal peripheral retina (arrow). B. Four months later, a salmon-patch hemorrhage is seen over the leakage site noted in A (arrow). Note the distal arteriolar occlusion, which probably caused increased intravascular pressure and vessel rupture at the area of leakage noted previously.
