This is a cyst of the pars plana located just anterior to the ora serrata in the lower temporal quadrant. It illustrates how far anterior one may visualize the fundus with indirect ophthalmoscopy and scleral indentation. Pars plana cysts are common lesions of no particular clinical significance.

Condition/keywords: cyst of the pars plana, lower temporal quadrant, ora serrata, scleral indentation

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

This is a developmental abnormality in a 59-year-old man. It is an enclosed ora bay on the temporal side, an isolated island of normal pars plana epithelium. It is important not to confuse this entity with a retinal break. It has smooth, sloping borders not a sharp, thin, visible retinal edge as a retinal break would have. The border looks exactly like that of the ora serrata, and the grayish pigmented base has the same appearance as the normal pars plana.

Condition/keywords: developmental abnormality, enclosed ora bay, grayish pigmented base, horizontal nasal meridian, pars plana epithelium, smooth sloping borders, temporal retina

This is a patient with idiopathic panuveitis who developed a visually significant epiretinal membrane. Pars plana vitrectomy with membrane peeling was performed to remove the epiretinal proliferation. I recommend magnifying the image to see the exquisite detail centrally.

This is the same case as seen in the previous photograph but is a different view with the scleral indentation moved more anterior. The retinoschisis is seen to be very peripheral coming at least grossly right up to the ora serrata. Please notice how clear a view one can get of the ora serrata and pars plana using indirect ophthalmoscopy with scleral indentation.

Condition/keywords: ora serrata, retinoschisis, scleral indentation
