Metastatic calcification to the peripheral fundus in chronic renal failure
Abstract
Report on massive deposition of calcium hydroxypatite in the eye of a 20-year-old woman who died as a result of chronic renal failure. Massive accumulation of this material within the previtreal space lead to an unusual finding in the peripheral fundus.
