This is the normal temporal ora serrata in a 26-year-old man. Note the typical ragged moth-eaten appearance caused by peripheral cystoid degeneration. This appearance may be present in infants but is always present beyond the age of eight years.

Condition/keywords: ora serrata, peripheral cystoid degeneration

This is the same lesion as in the previous photograph. With the scleral indentation placed more posterior, we now can see that the fold ends over a small collection of subretinal fluid and that there is a very tiny retinal hole just below the posterior end of the retinal fold.

Condition/keywords: peripheral cystoid degeneration, retinal fold, retinal hole, scleral indentation, subretinal fluid

This is a more typical classical example of lattice degeneration in a 42-year-old woman in a photograph taken without scleral indentation. It shows much more marked vascular changes than the previous case. Note the tapering of the blood columns as the vessels approach the lesion and also the white sheathing of the vessel walls. Note also the continuity of the blood vessels on opposite sides of the lesion with the characteristic white lattice lines. More than 45 years ago Vogt pointed this out as a proof that these white lines were actually caused by changed blood vessels. Note also that this lesion shows a combination of several individual features of lattice degeneration. In addition to the white lines, there is a reddish crater-like area beneath the main horizontal white line. There is a prominent horizontal zone below this white line showing a snailtrack appearance. Also, there are two tiny atrophic retinal holes outside the photograph on the right end of this lesion. This eye contained five such retinal holes and they have all remained unchanged for more than 10 years of observation without treatment.

Condition/keywords: atrophic retinal hole, lattice degeneration, moderate snail track, tapering blood columns, white lattice lines, white sheath vessel

The next two photographs are of the same lesion in a 28-year-old woman. This view shows a sloping retinal mound with a radial retinal fold in the center. This is not a typical meridional fold for it stops short of the ora serrata and there is no dentate process. The upper temporal ora serrata and pars plana are well shown and peripheral cystoid degeneration is present posterior to the ora.

Condition/keywords: ora serrata, pars plana, peripheral cystoid degeneration, radial retinal fold, sloping retinal mound

Lattic degeneration

Condition/keywords: lattice degeneration

This 16-year-old girl has lattice degeneration and also this large oval retinal hole with a surrounding narrow zone of subretinal fluid. This lesion illustrates how large the atrophic holes of lattice degeneration may be. Occasionally the hole can be as large as the initial lattice lesion and can therefore obliterate all other evidence of its true identity. This was almost true in this case, but there does remain a small whitish remnant of the original lattice lesion at the lower end of the oval hole.

Condition/keywords: lattice degeneration, retinal hole, subretinal fluid, white lattice lines

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
