Asymptomatic Tractional Tear
Nov 9 2012 by Norman Byer
This 38-year-old man was found to have this asymptomatic tractional tear in which the vitreoretinal traction had completely avulsed this tiny fragment of retina as a free operculum. Note how the examination and also the photography of this tiny lesion is made easier by scleral indentation.
Condition/keywords: asymptomatic, free operculum, scleral indentation, vitreoretinal traction

Laser Photocoagulation
Nov 9 2012 by Norman Byer
This is the same lesion 18 days following photocoagulation. The continuing vitreoretinal traction has now torn the retinal flap completely away from the retina and the resulting free operculum may be seen out of focus in the lower part of the photograph. The retinal tear is now easily visible with only a tiny remaining nubbin of the original flap seen above with a small hemorrhage.
Condition/keywords: free operculum, laser photocoagulation, retinal tear, vitreoretinal traction

Retinal Break at Site of Lattice Degeneration with Scleral Indentation
Nov 9 2012 by Norman Byer
This is the same case as the previous photograph. With scleral indentation slightly more posterior, the flap is seen to be associated with a large retinal tear. This is a tractional tear and it is possible that in this case the cryotherapy itself may have increased the vitreoretinal traction at this site and in this way led to this new tear. The age of the tear is unknown because it was asymptomatic, and even though the eye is aphakic the tear has not caused a clinical retinal detachment.
Condition/keywords: retinal flap, scleral indentation, tractional retinal tear, vitreoretinal traction

Sudden Posterior Vitreous Detachment
Nov 9 2012 by Norman Byer
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

Vitreoretinal Traction with Adjacent Tear and Vitreous Hemorrhage
Oct 3 2023 by Alexis Singstock
Ultra-widefield fundus photograph of a 76 year old woman with vitreoretinal traction, an adjacent retinal tear and vitreous hemorrhage affecting the left eye. Patient was referred for retinal detachment and vitreous hemorrhage. Patient reports waking up the day prior to their appointment with "a lot of lines coming down the front, like swirling dirt in the left eye". Patient's vision was counting fingers at 1 ft. Dr. Joseph Boss noticed a horseshoe tear inferior to traction on exam and with the help of ultra-widefield imaging. Dr. Boss performed laser retinopexy to tear and impending tear at site of traction. Patient is scheduled for pars plana vitrectomy for dense vitreous hemorrhage.

Lattice Degeneration
Nov 9 2012 by Norman Byer
In this 54-year-old woman, lattice degeneration has led to a large horseshoe tractional tear around the posterior side on one end of the lesion resulting in a clinical retinal detachment. Note the very attenuated blood column passing through the white sheath vessel that crosses the tear. This demonstrates that the white blood vessels and a fragment of attached tissue are the only structures which have escaped the tearing effect of the strong vitreoretinal traction which occurred. This usually is true, although, in some cases this bridging vessel may bleed.
Condition/keywords: bridging vessel, lattice degeneration, tractional retinal tear, white sheath vessel
