- Description
- There is a posterior vitreous face separation with remaining attachment to a retinal flap tear. Movement of the tear is visible during voluntary motion of the patient's eye. There is strong reflectivity from the flap tear (yellow arrow) and moderate reflectivity from the vitreous face (green arrow). The peripheral retinal tear is seen in this sagittal nasal cut near the medial rectus muscle insertion, which localizes the tear to the ora serrata around the 3 o'clock position.
