ciliary body 1mm limbus posteriorly 6 mm. 2mm pars plicata 4 mm flattened pars plana
surgical incision
phakic 4mm, pseudophakic 3.5mm
Innocuous peripheral retinal degeneration
microcystoid (peripheral cystoid) degeneration, Paving stone degeneration, Reticular (honeycomb) degeneration, Pars plana cyst
Dentate processes
nasally, retina extensions onto the pars plana
Oral bays
scalloped edges of pars plana epi between dentate processes
Meridional folds
superonasal, may small hole, thickened retina in line with dentate processes
microcystoid (peripheral cystoid) degeneration
tiny vesicles on grey-white background, all eyes, increase with age, may degenerative schisis
Paving stone degeneration
inferior, between equator and ora, yellow-white chorioretinal atrophy, 25% of normal
Reticular (honeycomb) degeneration
age-related perivascular pigmentation
Pars plana cyst
temporally, 5-10% eyes, from non-pigmented ciliary epithelium
Lattice degeneration
8% eyes, 40% of RD, bi, temporal superior, between equator and posterior border of vitreous base, discontinuity of ILM
Snailtrack degeneration
demarcated snowflakes, white frost-like appearance
Cystic retinal tuft
5% eyes, in 5-10% of RD, temporally, discrete elevated whitish lesion, glial, vitreoretinal adhesion
Degenerative retinoschisis
inferotemporal, bi in 80%, typical-outer plexiform layer,anteriorly to equator, reticular-NFL,worse,posteriorly. convex, smooth, thin, immobile
Zonular traction tuft
nasally, 15%, near ora serrata
white with pressure
translucent white-gray, indentation, normal eyes, may with lattice, snailtrack, retinoschisis
white without pressure
without indentation. condensed vitreous. retinal breaks, giant tears
Myopic choroidal atrophy
posterior pole and equatorial area. may lead to RD
synchysis
