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 small elevated peripheral retinal lesion in a 48-year-old woman is a cystic retinal tuft. Such tufts are congenital developmental anomalies present from birth and situated behind the vitreous base. They are sites of abnormal vitreoretinal attachment, and can occasionally lead to retinal tears at the time of posterior vitreous detachment. They are present in about 5% of patients.

Condition/keywords: abnormal vitreal retinal attachment, behind the vitreous base, congenital anomaly, cystic retinal tuft, developmental anomaly, peripheral retinal lesion, present from birth

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.

Condition/keywords: cystic retinal tuft, free operculum, prophylactic cyrotherapy, retinal flap, scleral indentation, vitreoretinal traction, vitreous fibrils
