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 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.

Lattice degeneration in a 42-year-old man which has produced four atrophic holes in a linear arrangement surrounded by a subclinical retinal detachment of unknown duration. By age 63, 21 years later, a posterior vitreous detachment was diagnosed in this eye, which was not present four years earlier. Nevertheless, the appearance seen here has remained exactly the same for 30 years, more than eight years with a concurrent PVD.

In this 50-year-old man, these two adjacent tears are separated by a narrow band of tissue but have a common flap. They were caused by a posterior vitreous detachment and they are surrounded by a localized area of detachment. This case is similar to slide pair 53.

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.

This 59-year-old man presented with sudden symptoms of retinal detachment in his opposite aphakic eye secondary to a tiny retinal tear about 1/8th disc diameter in size. During the examination, the fellow eye shown here was found to have this much larger tractional tear approximately 2 disc diameters in total length. If you look carefully, you will see that this is really a series of three separate tears with a common flap. The tears are separated by tiny bridges of remaining tissue which cause the edges of the apparent large tear to be serrated. This was also an aphakic eye with a posterior vitreous detachment but the lesion had produced no symptoms.

Condition/keywords: asymptomatic, bridge of tissue between tears, posterior vitreous detachment, tractional retinal tear

This is the same lesion with scleral indentation. You can see the small discrete preretinal hemorrhage and the sharply circumscribed area of elevated retina with subretinal fluid beneath it. No retinal break is visible, but the posterior vitreous is detached and exerting traction at this site. The area was surrounded with argon laser treatment the same day as the initial examination.

This is the same eye that was described in slide pairs 15 and 16 and shows a large tractional symptomatic retinal tear at 12 o’clock. It was caused by a posterior vitreous detachment which placed sudden traction on a cystic retinal tuft. The whitish tuft is barely visible on the flap because it is not in focus. This tear was treated successfully with cryotherapy. The next slide pair is a postoperative view of the same lesion.

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