Lattice degeneration in a 42-year-old man which has produced four atrophic holes in a linear arrangement surrounded by a subclinical retinal detachment of unknown duration. By age 63, 21 years later, a posterior vitreous detachment was diagnosed in this eye, which was not present four years earlier. Nevertheless, the appearance seen here has remained exactly the same for 30 years, more than eight years with a concurrent PVD.

24 hours post op fundus photograph of a 43-year-old man who had perforating injury to the right eye with a small piece of plastic while he was hammering. OD LP, subconjunctival hemorrhage, clear cornea, hyphema, irido and ciclodyalisis as well as a luxated lens with traumatic cataract and a dense vitreous hemorrhage. B-US showed rhegmatogenous retinal detachment with a tear and a big inferior hemorrhagic choroidal detachment. 360 peritomy revealed 2-entry scleral wounds were found in zone II (M V and M VI) and closure was performed. 25 G PPV was performed with the infusion canal placed in the AC through the limbus. Lensectomy and removal of a dense recent vitreous hemorrhage revealed a white detached retina with an exit wound through the temporal inferior segment of the optic nerve with a nasal GRT and sub retinal hemorrhage as well as temporal inferior choroidal, PVD was induced and PFOs helped stabilizing the retina while vitrectomy and sub-retinal hemorrhage was removed through the GRT. Fluid air exchange was made and 360 endolaser over the buckle indentation was done and silicon oil was used as endotamponade. This picture was taken 24 hrs after the surgery.

Peri-papillary vascular loops (PVL) are rare congenital vascular malformations, which are usually detected as accidental finding during routine fundus examination. They can often be confused with tributary vein occlusion or racemose hemangioma. Although benign and asymptomatic, they can be rarely associated with vitreous hemorrhage and arterial occlusion. We herein present a case of a 60-year-old hypertensive male, who was diagnosed elsewhere to have a tributary vein occlusion and was referred to us. FFA was advised to rule out neovascularization, surrounding capillary non perfusion and mass lesion (hemangioma). On FFA, the arterial loop showed a slightly delayed filling (3-5 seconds) as compared to the other arterial vessels and the original vessel appeared to be a branch arising from central retinal artery. The choroidal filling was delayed in the area supplied by the loop. A cilioretinal artery was also noted. The patient was diagnosed to have a Peri-papillary vascular arterial loop (PVL), likely to be congenital in origin. The patient was reassured and was advised yearly follow up. These loops are usually accidental findings discovered during routine fundus examination. Since these vessels are looped and tortuous, they exhibit a slower and laminar blood flow, which make them more prone for arterial occlusions. The vitreous in this area tends to be adherently attached, so during PVD induction, it is likely to cause a tear and hemorrhage leading to vitreous hemorrhage. Until and unless there is a break, this hemorrhage tends to resolve on its own and does not warrant treatment. If there is an evident break, it can be dealt with laser barrage.

A 73-year-old woman with macular pucker underwent a pars plana vitrectomy with membrane peeling. Additionally the patient suffers from diabetic retinopathy after being diagnosed with type 2 diabetes mellitus sixteen years ago. Prior to the procedure she was treated with a series of intravitreal Bevacizumab-injections due to diabetic macular edema. There was no history of a proliferative DRP. During the vitrectomy a branch of an obliterated NVE spontaneously detached and floated freely in the vitreous. The 3D shot was captured via Alcon’s NGENUITY® 3D Visualization System in form of photograph and video providing an outstandingly detailed image of the branched NVE.

This B-scan demonstrates a partial PVD. A posterior vitreous detachment (PVD) may occur in a normal aging eye or may be associated with pathology such as vitreous hemorrhage or inflammation. In a normal eye, as in this example, the PVD appears as a thin and smooth line (arrow) on B-scan. When the globe is moved voluntarily by the patient, real time echography demonstrates a quick jerky motion of the sheet-like echo with movements continuing after the globe movement has ceased. This is helpful in differentiating a PVD from a retinal detachment, which typically has a slower undulating pattern of motion. If there was presence of blood or inflammatory debris associated with the PVD, the echogenic line might appear thicker, especially in the most gravity dependent portions of the globe (i.e., posterior and inferior).

This unifying concept of vitreo-retinopathies hypothesizes that the pathogenesis of several vitreoretinal diseases that were previously considered very disparate, are actually all manifestations of the same underlying pathophysiology – anomalous PVD. Note that vitreo-papillary adhesion (VPA) and traction can cause primary optic neuropathy, but might also play a role in facilitating/promoting cell migration and proliferation during pathologic neovascularization of the optic disc. Further, VPA seems to alter the vector of tangential forces exerted by a membrane, in some cases full-thickness posterior vitreous cortex and in some cases the outer layer of the posterior vitreous cortex left attached to the macula after vitreoschisis. While not all cases of macular holes have vitreoschisis, they feature vitreomacular adhesion and traction almost always with VPA.
