title: Large retinal defect associated with myelinated nerve fibers.
abstract: We report the unusual association of a large retinal defect with extensive myelinated nerve fibers. The defect was situated in the superior portion of the myelination and choroidal vasculature was visible through it. The defect has remained unchanged during 6 years of follow-up and has not led to any retinal detachment.
