[Retinopathy in the course of a homozygous haemoglobinopathy (author's transl)].
Fundus examination of a young African female affected with acute benign unilateral iridocyclitis showed lesions similar to those of sickle cell disease. She had a homozygous C/C hemoglobinosis, which was previously unknown. Certain hematological lesions confirmed the pathogenesis of these pathological entities in absence of sickle cell formation.
