Q

What is vessel dilation/contraction

51
Q

What is WWOP?

A

gray/white appearance of peripheral retina, sharp demarcation from adjacent normal retinal, possible vitreoretinal interface

52
Q

What is happening at a abnormal vitreoretinal interface?

A

hyper-reflectance of ellipsoid portion of photoreceptor inner segments

53
Q

What is lattice degeneration?

A

8% of population, found midway between ora serrata and equator, thinning of inner retinal layers

54
Q

What retinal layers are affected with lattice?

A

abnormal pigmentation/RPE hyperplasia with yellow/white surface flecks, associated vessels become attenuated and sheathed, loss of inner retinal layers down to outer nuclear layer with associated vitreous liquefaction

55
Q

Where is a strong vitreal adhesion?

A

at the edge of lattice

56
Q

What percent of lattice is associated with atrophic retinal holes?

A

25-35%

57
Q

What percent of lattice is related to tractional retinal tears?

A

1%

58
Q

What is snailtrack degeration?

A

degeneration of the neural elements of retina leading to an atrophy of the tissues with lipid deposits in the internal retinal layers, sharply demarcated, at or near equator

59
Q

What is snailtracking made of?

A

microglial cells containing lipoproteins on the surface

60
Q

Does snail tracking have a stronger or weaker vitreous traction than lattice?

A

weaker, less risk of retinal trauma

61
Q

What are atrophic retinal holes?

A

a break in the retina not associated with traction forces, rather progressive retinal thinning, creases potetntial for liquified vitreous to invade and yield RD

62
Q

What percent of the population has atrophic retinal holes

A

2-3% … 20% likelihood of presence in fellow eye

63
Q

What is the red base in an atrophic retinal hole?

A

RPE-choroid showing

64
Q

What surrounds an atrophic retinal hole?

A

often surrounded by cuff of intra-retinal edema or sub-clinical RD, pigment surrounding hole indicates it has been present 3+ months, this is reactive RPE hyperplasia

65
Q

What possible causes atrophic holes?

A

focal vascular compromise

66
Q

What are operculated holes?

A

vitreoretinal traction pulls a plug or operculum of retinal tissue away yielding a retinal hole, red area with overlying retinal floater that looks smaller than the hole

67
Q

What is intrabasal

A

within vitreous bases, may be due to traction from lens zonules and are lower risk for RD because they are within strong adhesions of vitreous base

68
Q

What is juxtabasal?

A

next to vitreous base and higher risk of RD when there’s a PVD because the cause is the VR traction

69
Q

What amount of fluid with a hole should be referred?

A

> 2DD, symptomatic, aphakic or past Hx of hole consider phtocoagulation

70
Q

What is retinoschisis?

A

splitting of internal layers of sensory retina, commonly bilateral and inferotemporal, usually asymptomatic

71
Q

What is flat vs bullous retinoschisis?

A

flat: split occurs at outer plexiform layer, bullos: split occurs anterior to OPL leaving a very thin inner wall

72
Q

How to distinguish retinoschisis from retinal detachment

A

schisis will not move with eye movement and when illuminated, schisis has honeycomb appearance

73
Q

What is rhegmatogenous retinal detachment?

A

included retinal break, commonly starts as PVD yielding traction from vitrous at peripheral retina causing tear… leads to separation between photoreceptors and sensory retina

74
Q

What is non-rhegmatogenous (traction/serous) detachment?

A

disease yielding tractional entities such as PDR allowing tension on retina giving away to RD, disease where fluid/hemorrhage develops between sensory retina and RPE

75
Q

What are s/s of retinal detachment?

A

flashes and floaters, APD, reduced IOP, iritis, opaque or corrugated retina

76
Q

Why do flashes occur?

A

retina moving resulting in stimulation of photoreceptors, phosphene effect
