Fine structural changes of peripheral cystoid degenerations during life.
Peripheral cystoid degeneration is the result of malnutrition of the retinal tissue, already observed in postnatal development. The morphological substrate for a disturbance in the function of the blood-retinal barrier at the ora is the presence of a perivascular space around the capillaries.
