angioscotoma

A scotoma produced by the shadow cast by the retinal blood vessels. It looks like the branches of a tree extending from the blind spot. It is seen only in special conditions of illumination as when illuminating the fundus of the eye by gently moving a penlight over the closed eyelid, or when illuminating the fundus through the sclera, or when plotting the visual field. This phenomenon is sometimes used as a test to predict gross macular function in a patient with dense cataract where visualization of the fundus is impossible, although better results are obtained with the blue field entoptoscope. Syn. Purkinje figures; Purkinje shadows; Purkinje tree. See entoptic image.
