[Unusial oraparallel changes in the retinal periphery (author's transl)].

6 patients (8 eyes) showed peripheral oraparallel changes, that differ ophthalmoscopically from lattice degeneration: Smaller and mostly depigmented, they have a longer circular extension without palisades. The lower temporal quadrant was mainly concerned. Probably the unusual retinal changes are a variation of the pigmentary epithelium without a tendency to form a retinal detachment.
