Description This is the ocular fundus in a patient with NF-2 showing a preretinal membrane that extends from the temporal disc margin toward the macula. The optic disc shows low grade papilledema caused by one of the patient's acoustic neurinomas. The membrane has caused horizontal folds on the retinal surface. White lesion seen on the temporal vascular arcade seems to be from the underlying choroid. We do not know what it represents. Anatomy: Retina. Pathology: Epiretinal membrane. Disease/Diagnosis: Neurofibromatosis type 2. Clinical: Impaired central vision.
