| Description | Lattice degeneration describe areas of thinning in the neurosensory retina (NSR) with overlying vitreous liquefaction and vitreoretinal adhesions, characterized by circumferential zigzag white lines with oval holes within the lesion. It is the most important degeneration predisposing to retinal tears. Degenerative retinoschisis is a microcystic degeneration resulting in the splitting of the retinal layers between the outer plexiform and inner nuclear layers, usually inferotemporally. Posterior vitreous detachment (PVD) is the separation of the posterior vitreous cortex from the NSR. This occurs with increasing age as the vitreous becomes more liquefied which results in the creation of empty pockets of fluid within the vitreous, leading to vitreous collapse. A disinsertion of the retina at the ora serrata involving anterior and posterior to the vitreous base. Traumatic retinal dialysis is more common and located superonasally. Idiopathic dialysis is more commonly located inferotemporally. Book Name: The Duke Elder Exam of Ophthalmology |
