Owl's eye appearance
Owl's eye appearance is a pattern in medical radiology and histopathology, and may refer to:
- Cells with perinuclear vacuolization around centrally located pyknotic nuclei, such as typically seen in flat warts.[1]
- Owl's eye appearance of inclusion bodies, which is highly specific for cytomegalovirus infection.[2]
- Owl's eye appearance of entire nucleus - a finding in Reed–Sternberg cells in individuals with Hodgkin's lymphoma.
- Owl's eye appearance of the Lentiform nucleus of the basal ganglia on head CT scan images in individuals with cerebral hypoxia[3]
