title: Abortive foveal retinal neovascularization in diabetic retinopathy.
abstract: We report six eyes with foveal white lesions and associated "abortive" retinal neovascularization. Over a two- to six-year follow-up period the clinical course was benign and the eyes maintained visual acuities of 20/20 to 20/30.
