Fig. 30. Horseshoe tear of the retina. A. Rounded edges (arrows) show that the tear is a true retinal tear (artifact shows sharp edges). Note the vitreous (v) is adherent to the anterior lip of the tear, causing traction. Inset. Macroscopic appearance. B. Another case similar to (A). Again, the vitreous (v) is adherent to the anterior lip of the tear, causing traction. Inset. Macroscopic appearance. (A, main figure, PAS, ×40; inset, macroscopic. B, main figure, H&E, × 16; inset, macroscopic.)
