CONT

En 2011, la rétinopathie froissée de Martinique a été révélée au fond d'œil par un aspect de peau de crocodile ou de terre séchée [...] On distinguait des lignes blanchâtres profondes entrelacées plus ou moins diffuses [...] Avec l'avènement de l'OCT [tomographie par cohérence optique] [...], ces réticulations ont pu être corrélées à une atteinte des couches externes et notamment à un épithélium pigmentaire discrètement froissé correspondant aux anomalies.
