[Senile lattice structures in the parenchym of the cornea (author's transl)].
Sharply limited, intersecting, optically void, dark appearing lines in the parenchym of the cornea of elder patients may be called senile lattice work. They are presumably caused by general decay, they are benign and do not impair the visual faculty. A knowledge of them is of significance for differential diagnosis.
