Abstract
The clinicopathologic features of photocoagulation lesion expansion af ter two separate sessions of krypton red laser for choroidal neovascul arization (CNV) in an eye with age-related macular degeneration are pr esented. The area of expansion is characterized by retinal pigment epi thelial atrophy and loss of the photoreceptor cell layer. A thin margi n of retinal pigment epithelium hypopigmentation and variable photorec eptor cell layer degeneration also borders the lesion in some areas.
