It is generally held that microaneurysms constitute the characteristic lesion of diabetic

numerous clinicians and pathologists since that time. Noteworthy has been the predominant
localization of the diabetic microaneurysms in the central and paracentral regions, their
random distribution, and their association with punctate hemorrhages and" exudates" in the …
