This is a fresh, symptomatic horseshoe tear at the site of a cystic retinal tuft in a 63-year-old man. This is really a double horseshoe tear because the two retinal vessels have resisted the vitreal retinal traction and have preserved an intact bridge of tissue between the tears. Note the prominent vitreous condensation attached to the apex of the upper tear and made much more visible because it is seen superimposed over the dark underlying shadow of scleral indentation.

Condition/keywords: bridge of tissue between tears, cystic retinal tuft, scleral indentation, vitreous condensation

This horseshoe tear was the cause of the detachment in this 54-year-old man. The orange area on the right half of the slide represents the area of scleral indentation. Please note that most of the tear lies over the indented area and appears orange. However, the extreme left side of the tear is brownish black in color because it is exactly superimposed over the dark shadow that always lies just beyond the indented area. The ability of scleral indentation to produce this color change combined with a sharp demarcation between the blackish area and the yellowish edge of intact retina is a pathognomonic sign of a full thickness retinal break.

Condition/keywords: scleral indentation

This 60-year-old man suddenly developed a vitreous hemorrhage from this acute horseshoe tear 3½ years following cataract extraction when a posterior vitreous detachment occurred. The white nubbin identifies this lesion as a preexisting cystic retinal tuft. The pigment spot beneath the flap is evidence of secondary trophic changes in the pigment epithelium. Note the irregular shape of the flap with the narrow tip and broad base. This was caused by vitreous traction which was exerted at two separate points on the retina and which tore the retina at each place.

Condition/keywords: acute posterior vitreous detachment, irregularly shaped flap, trophic pigmented changes, vitreous hemorrhage, vitreous traction, white retinal tuft

This 52-year-old woman suffered a sudden posterior vitreous detachment which caused a large horseshoe tear at 12:00 o’clock in this eye. It also produced another change at 8:45 in this left eye shown in this photograph. Note the small hemorrhage just to the left of the vessel. Immediately to the left of the hemorrhage and lying alongside of the vessel is a yellowish lesion which actually represents a cystic retinal tuft. You will see it better in the next slide pair.

This 68-year-old woman had a recent posterior vitreous detachment which produced this symptomatic horseshoe tear exactly at the site of this cystic retinal tuft. Note the characteristic discrete white nubbin at the apex, which is produced by a cap of glial cells with densely packed cytoplasm.

Condition/keywords: cystic retinal tuft, glial cells, posterior vitreous detachment, white retinal tuft

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

This shows the same lesion 11 days following laser photocoagulation. Still more new hemorrhages can now be seen, and the retinal tissue in the center of the lesion is being visibly pulled forward. If you look carefully, you can see the sharp lower edge of a developing tractional horseshoe tear.

Condition/keywords: laser photocoagulation, retinal tissue, vitreous traction

This 50-year-old woman accidentally hit her right eye with a metal tube. The next day she first noticed symptoms of this retinal detachment, which was caused by this usually long and narrow horseshoe tear. Note the rolled edges on each side of the tear and the long blood vessel running down the length of the flap. This illustrates the rule that when traction is exerted on the retina, the retinal blood vessels have a relative resistance to tearing and are the last areas to rupture.

Condition/keywords: retinal vessel, rolled edges of retina
