This is the same lesion as seen in the previous slide pair. Here the scleral indentation is carried more posterior revealing a tiny, round, full thickness retinal hole. This is not a tear produced by traction even though vitreous is always attached to these flaps. You will note that the hole is round and is separated by a slight distance from the flap itself. It is probably the result of long continued atrophy and devitalization of the retina. A posterior vitreous was not detached. This lesion has not changed its appearance for more than a year of observation, but the age of the hole is actually unknown.

Condition/keywords: asymptomatic, atrophy, full thickness retinal hole, posterior scleral indentation, retinal hole, round hole

This 24-year-old woman had a flat lattice lesion without holes observed with no change for six years. She then developed two tiny retinal holes in this lesion and three years later the clinical retinal detachment shown here. She responded well to surgery. Even though such atrophic holes and lattice lesions may occasionally lead to a clinical detachment, it is important to understand that the mere presence of such holes is not an indication for prophylactic treatment. The reason for this is that we now know statistically that fewer than 1 percent of such cases lead to a retinal detachment.

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.

Lattice lesion that was originally just a reddish crater as in slide pair 35 in a girl 14 years of age. By the time she was 21, seven years later, it had changed to this appearance, more whitish and with a tiny hole in the right end. This hole has led to a small subclinical retinal detachment which extends beyond the lattice lesion to the margin of the yellow zone. It has remained exactly like this for more than 21 years.

This lattice lesion in a 36-year-old woman shows a snail track feature on the left combined with a reddish crater and retinal hole to the right. The hole has caused a small subclinical detachment. The next slide pair will show more of this lesion.

This is the same lesion as shown in the previous case. Two retinal holes are present, and you can look through the upper hole into the dark subretinal space. This is, therefore, a true subclinical retinal detachment but it has changed only slightly in the past 13 years. About 75% of such holes in lattice lesions show a tiny adjacent zone of subretinal fluid. After the hole forms from gradual progressive thing of the retina, a tiny amount of fluid from the pocket of liquified vitreous over the lesion passes through the hole to the subretinal space

In this 47-year-old woman, this lattice lesion with a small hole in the right end has led to a subclinical retinal detachment which extends to the margin of the subtle yellowish zone almost at the upper edge of the photograph. This patient did not desire surgery, and the area of detachment has changed only a small amount in the past eight years. The risk of a clinical retinal detachment developing from lattice degeneration is less than 1 percent. In those cases where it does though, about 3 quarters are caused by a tractional tear and about one quarter are caused by an atrophic hole as in this case.

This is a photograph of a lattice lesion in a 23-year-old girl taken without scleral indentation. Just to the left of the center of the slide is a slightly pigmented lesion almost oval in shape with a retinal hole in each end. Ten years earlier at the age of 13 this lesion appeared exactly like the one in the previous case as a pure red crater. Five years later two new round retinal holes were seen, one in each end, with a tiny bit of subretinal fluid within the lattice lesion only. Five years later still the appearance was as shown in this slide pair with the subretinal fluid now extending slightly beyond the lattice lesion as far as the curved row of tiny yellow exudates seen just to the right of the center of the slide. It is now actually a small subclinical retinal detachment. The next slide pair will show this better using scleral indentation.

This is the same lesion as seen in the previous case seen now with scleral indentation. Here you can see directly into the subretinal space through the two retinal holes. The holes appear dark because the shadow of the scleral indentation lies directly beneath them.

This is the same lesion as in the previous photograph. With the scleral indentation placed more posterior, we now can see that the fold ends over a small collection of subretinal fluid and that there is a very tiny retinal hole just below the posterior end of the retinal fold.
