| Title |
Preservation of Central Acuity with Macular Infraction: Hypothesis on the Resilience of Foveal Outflow Channels to Retinal Ischemia |

| Description |
The goal of this report is to present hypotheses to explain the mechanisms by which central vision is spared in some instances of diffuse macular infarction. In order to retain central acuity axons from the central-most ganglion cells must survive despite coursing through the densely infracted surrounding macula. Sparing of axons is not known to be a fee feature of neural infarction. |
