Fig. 59. Anterior segment necrosis following retinal detachment repair in a patient with SC hemoglobin-opathy. A. The entire anterior segment became ischemic and necrotic following retinal reattachment surgery. B. The smudged and disorganized appearance of the structures of the ciliary body is characteristic of autolysis associated with early necrosis. (Hematoxylin-eosin stain; × 25.)
