Montage fundus photograph of left eye (October 11, 1995) reveals
peripapillary red-orange nodular lesions contiguous with elevated, sinuous,
tubular lesions extending through the macular region. Note subretinal pigment
epithelial hemorrhage superotemporal to the optic disc and the red-orange
nodular or polypoidal lesions just posterior to the hemorrhage (arrow). Also
note the serosanguineous retinal detachment and few hard exudates inferotemporally.
