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

Fundus photograph of a 76 year old female with neovascular AMD who developed a subfoveal subretinal hemorrhage in the left eye. This photograph is one day postop after 23g vitrectomy, subretinal rt-PA 50ug/0.1cc and C3F8 gas. Note the subretinal hemorrhage and fluid displaced inferiorly. No open retinal break was present.

Apr 22 2016 by Mallika Goyal, MD

Right fundus of a 34-year-old lady with bilateral morning glory disc anomaly with silicon oil in-situ; this eye had rhegmatogenous retinal detachment with multiple peripheral lattice degeneration and was successfully operated. However, there was redetachment within a week of silicon oil removal in absence of any untreated retinal breaks suggesting the abnormal disc as a likely cause of the redetachment.

This is the same case as the previous photograph. With scleral indentation slightly more posterior, the flap is seen to be associated with a large retinal tear. This is a tractional tear and it is possible that in this case the cryotherapy itself may have increased the vitreoretinal traction at this site and in this way led to this new tear. The age of the tear is unknown because it was asymptomatic, and even though the eye is aphakic the tear has not caused a clinical retinal detachment.

Condition/keywords: retinal flap, scleral indentation, tractional retinal tear, vitreoretinal traction

This is the same lesion with scleral indentation. You can see the small discrete preretinal hemorrhage and the sharply circumscribed area of elevated retina with subretinal fluid beneath it. No retinal break is visible, but the posterior vitreous is detached and exerting traction at this site. The area was surrounded with argon laser treatment the same day as the initial examination.

Condition/keywords: posterior vitreous detachment, preretinal hemorrhage, scleral indentation, subretinal fluid, vitreous traction

This 23-year-old man presented with a fresh retinal detachment in a highly myopic eye and this very unusual retinal appearance. You can see two reddish areas with fairly distinct borders which at first make us think of retinal breaks. However, the left area has two tiny vessels visible in it, and the right area shows visible translucent retinal tissue extending across it. This patient has extensive areas of paving stone degeneration. Usually, such lesions present a barrier to a detaching retina and areas of paving stone usually remain attached. However, in this photograph we can see two paving stone lesions, and the detachment has extended right through them peeling them off from the underlying pigment epithelium. The two reddish areas, therefore, represent the very thin retina which previously constituted part of two paving stone lesions. The yellow atrophic areas which are visible deep to the detached retina represent the deeper parts of the same two original paving stone lesions.

Condition/keywords: lesion, myopic eye, pigment epithelium, reddish lesion, yellow atrophic area
