A 60-year-old Caucasian female presented with reduced night vision and constricted visual fields. The fundus exam revealed pigmentary changes in the peripheral retina. Fundus autofluorescence depicted the schematic appearance of a Phoenix , with the hypo-autofluorescence corresponding to the head and wings of the phoenix. Genetic testing was positive for a heterozygous RHO mutation

This 60-year-old man suffered a sudden posterior vitreous detachment which produced a large tractional retinal tear at 11:30 o’clock in this eye. This white cystic retinal tuft located at 9:30 also suffered minor injury at the same time as revealed in the next slide pair.

Condition/keywords: posterior vitreous detachment, white retinal tuft

This is the same case as seen in the previous photograph but showing an area just below the lower end of the dialysis. It shows a congenital meridional fold at the 2 o’clock meridian with a retinal break at the posterior end possibly caused by the direct injury described previously.

Condition/keywords: meridional fold, ora serrata, retinal break

This photograph and the next are two views of a very interesting elevated lesion in a 45-year-old man. This photograph shows the immense value of closely scrutinizing the profile of the indented area. Note that in the middle of the slide there is a sudden break in the continuity of the dark convex shadow that lies just behind the crest of the scleral indentation. If the elevated tissue is "filmy" or "wispy" or filamentous as in this case, it raises a strong suspicion that a retinal break is present just behind it.

Condition/keywords: elevated retinal lesion, elevated tissue, retinal break, scleral indentation

This shows the same lesion four days after laser photo coagulation. The new hemorrhages seen in this photograph did not occur during the photocoagulation but developed within the next four days.

Pigmented lattice degeneration with lattice "wicker" caused by sclerotic blood vessels.

Condition/keywords: lattice degeneration, peripheral retinal degeneration

Nov 9 2012 by Norman Byer

This lattice lesion in a 36-year-old woman has remained unchanged over a period of 13 years. It shows a moderate snailtrack feature with discrete yellow dots visible on the surface of the lesion and especially along the posterior border. One of these can be well seen just below the lesion superimposed over the dark shadow of the scleral indentation. The exact nature of these yellow dots is still not entirely clear.

Condition/keywords: lattice degeneration, moderate snail track, scleral indentation, yellow dots

This is the normal nasal ora serrata showing a prominent meridional fold. Such folds are most commonly seen at the lower part of the upper nasal quadrant, and are present in 26% of the population. They are a normal developmental variation and are often bilateral.

92 year old female with bilateral patchy, sharply demarcated circular areas of chorioretinal atrophy with hyperpigmented margins in the mid to far periphery. Labs showed normal plasma ornithine levels ruling out generalized gyrate atrophy. Also intermediate uveitis and CMD/CME. FTA-ABS, Quant gold, and HLA-A29 labs all negative.

This is the right eye of a 49-year-old woman showing a tiny retinal break adjacent to the temporal ora serrata. It has remained exactly the same without treatment for nine years.

Condition/keywords: ora serrata, retinal break

This 18-year-old girl gave the history of having been hit in this eye three years before with a fist and of having retinal surgery nine months previously, which was temporarily successful. When the photograph was taken, she had a total left retinal detachment with a small nasal dialysis which had not been treated. She also had two prominent intraretinal cysts, one of which is shown here. The retina promptly reattached following further surgery and the next slide shows an interesting change in this cyst.

Condition/keywords: intraretinal cyst, small nasal dialysis

This 30-year-old man sustained a severe blow to his brow region which resulted in a variety of injuries including hyphema and vitreous and retinal hemorrhages. This photograph shows a retinal lesion, which is either a tiny area of elevated full thickness retina or a traumatic retinal cyst.

Condition/keywords: elevated retinal lesion, retinal hemorrhage, traumatic retinal cyst

This 43-year-old woman had the small area of retinalschisis and associated small localized retinal detachment resulting from breaks in both retinal layers when she was first examined. This eye was asymptomatic and has remained exactly the same during two years of observation without treatment. In this picture, the outer layer break is demarcated by the yellow line. The inner layer is seen intact over this hole but has itself two small holes in the upper part of the photograph. Thus, it is evident that even retinoschisis with double layer holes does not necessarily progress to a clinical retinal detachment. The viscous nature of the fluid in the retinoschisis cavity is probably a contributing factor in this non progressive tendency.

Condition/keywords: inner layer holes, outer layer hole, retinoschisis

Fundus photograph of a 13-year-old male with a history of congenital cataract surgery in his right eye in 2019. The patient presents with sudden visual loss. Upon examination, a dislocated IOL is observed in the posterior segment, accompanied by a rhegmatogenous retinal detachment featuring peripheral retinal tears and horseshoe breaks. Additionally, a morning glory disc anomaly is also present in this patient.
