title: [Unilateral idiopathic leopard-spot lesion of the retinal pigment epithelium: a fibroglial tractional complication].
abstract: The unilateral idiopathic leopard-spot lesion of the retinal pigment epithelium is a rare and acquired entity of the young adult whose clinical description is quite recent. This pathology presents a strong proliferative potential that is both neovascular and fibroglial. The authors report a case with severe fibroglial complications. Careful follow-up of these patients and their descendants seems to be essential in order to better characterize this lesion whose nature and etiopathogeny are still unknown.
