This large and complicated retinal tear in a 51-year-old man resulted from an acute posterior vitreous detachment which concentrated its tractional forces around this area of lattice degeneration. Because of the powerful traction, there is an additional central tear splitting the large retinal flap and almost severing one of its arms. The traction was strong enough to completely rupture the blood vessel just to the left of the flap. Marking the ruptured peripheral end of the blood vessel is a yellow depigmented thrombus.

Condition/keywords: acute posterior vitreous detachment, depigmented thrombus, lattice degeneration, retinal tear, tractional retinal 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.

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

This 20-year-old wrestler sustained a sharp powerful blow to his right eye from his opponent’s thumb. One hour later he saw hundreds of black specs in his vision and was found to have this dialysis of his retina in the upper nasal quadrant. Note the triangular piece of retina in the center that remained attached to the ora serrata causing the retinal flap to resemble a man’s flared shirt collar.

Condition/keywords: retinal dialysis, retinal tear, upper nasal quadrant

This is the same case as the previous photograph. When the indentation is moved slightly more posterior, a small retinal tear is seen immediately behind the flap. Even though this is a true tractional tear, no retinal detachment has occurred over a period of 11 years of observation without treatment.

Condition/keywords: elevated retinal lesion, retinal tear, tractional retinal tear
