This is the same lesion as in the previous slide pair but the photograph was taken nine years later when the patient was 58-years-old soon after an acute posterior vitreous detachment. This demonstrates that posterior vitreous detachment can produce large retinal tears at these sites. However, it is important to emphasize that prophylactic treatment of cystic retinal tufts in the absence of a retinal tear would be very ill-advised because several hundred innocence and harmless lesions would have to be treated in order to prevent one tear of the retina.

Condition/keywords: cystic retinal tuft, posterior vitreous detachment, retinal tear

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

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

In this 26-year-old woman, these two atrophic holes in a lattice lesion led to a clinical retinal detachment which was operated on successfully. In retinal detachments of this type resulting from non tractional atrophic holes, it has been found that 50% occur before the age of 30 years.

This is the appearance of the previous lesion three weeks following prophylactic cryotherapy. Continuing vitreal retinal traction has a now torn the flap completely free from the retina. The whitish cystic retinal tuft can be discerned on the upper part of the free operculum. Along the lower half of the operculum superimposed over the dark shadow of the scleral indentation one may observe numerous, delicate, vitreous fibrils actually attaching to the operculum.
