Abstract
The histological features of cystoid macular edema in an early stage are demonstrated in the eye of a 54-year-old patient with an active ciliary body melanoma. Separation of the posterior vitreous face and the inner limiting membrane with accumulation of an exudate in the resulting space, petaloid folding of the inner retinal layers, swelling as well as microcystoid degeneration of Henle's fiber layer, and vertical folding of the outer retinal layers with separation of the central cones from the pigment epithelium are observed.
