Retinal meteor

We describe a case of a 65-year old man diagnosed with retinal vasoproliferative tumour secondary to posterior uveitis. The fluorescein angiography shows an interesting meteor-like leak emanating from the tumour and rising towards the superior retina in the later frames of the angiogram. Pictorially...

Zusammenfassung:	We describe a case of a 65-year old man diagnosed with retinal vasoproliferative tumour secondary to posterior uveitis.

Pictorially, we call it the "Retinal Meteor" and also describe the possible mechanism for this pattern of leakage.
