After six years, the previous lesion looked like this. The former flap has been completely avulsed and is now a free operculum. The white zone around the tear represents the small area of detachment and subretinal fluid. It is still asymptomatic and does not require treatment.

Condition/keywords: does not require treatment, free operculum, operculated retinal hole, subretinal fluid, white retinal tuft

Fundus photograph of a 25-year-old emmetropic male graduate student with an inferotemporal phakic chronic asymptomatic rhegmatogenous retinal detachment with a demarcation line in the right eye. His sister who is an ophthalmology resident discovered this incidental finding. Vision 20/20.

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 asymptomatic lesion in a 27-year-old woman is a very interesting example of a cystic retinal tuft. Note the discrete white nubbin, which is the chief characteristic of this lesion. In this case, it is surrounded by a small area of subretinal fluid. The next slide pair will reveal the reason for this.

Condition/keywords: asymptomatic, cystic retinal tuft, subretinal fluid

This white retinal tuft was seen in a 20-year-old man. It is associated with an asymptomatic retinal tear posterior to the tuft and with a tiny adjacent amount of subretinal fluid. It remained just like this for six years and then underwent the change shown in the next slide pair.

Condition/keywords: asymptomatic, subretinal fluid, white retinal tuft

Condition/keywords: choroidal nevus

Nov 9 2012 by Norman Byer

This 51-year-old woman has retinoschisis with a large outer layer hole which has a white posterior rolled border. The left side of the posterior border of this hole can be seen to lie quite close to the inner layer showing that the outer layer is detached. This, therefore, is actually a combined schisis detachment which may safely be observed without treatment. This is an asymptomatic process, and the detachment of the outer layer is almost always localized and self limited.

Condition/keywords: intact inner layer, localized detachment of outer layer, outer layer hole, retinoschisis, rolled edges of retina, schisis detachment, white posterior

This is the same lesion as seen in the previous slide pair. Here the scleral indentation is carried more posterior revealing a tiny, round, full thickness retinal hole. This is not a tear produced by traction even though vitreous is always attached to these flaps. You will note that the hole is round and is separated by a slight distance from the flap itself. It is probably the result of long continued atrophy and devitalization of the retina. A posterior vitreous was not detached. This lesion has not changed its appearance for more than a year of observation, but the age of the hole is actually unknown.

Condition/keywords: asymptomatic, atrophy, full thickness retinal hole, posterior scleral indentation, retinal hole, round hole

This 54-year-old man was referred because of sudden symptoms in his opposite eye in which he had suffered an acute retinal detachment secondary to a horseshoe tear around lattice degeneration. During the examination, the fellow eye shown here was also found to have this large horseshoe tear about 1 o’clock hour (4 disc diameters) in size. A tear occurred around a lattice lesion which is present on the flap but is out of focus. This tear had been asymptomatic even though it was caused by a posterior vitreous detachment and illustrates that even very large tears may produce no symptoms or mild symptoms that are easily overlooked.

Condition/keywords: lattice degeneration, posterior vitreous detachment
