SNAILTRACK LATTICE DEGENERATION

ATROPHIC RETINAL HOLE WITHIN LATTICE

This is a picture of lattice degeneration with an atrophic retinal hole.  It does appear that there is some fluid surrounding the hole.  

PAPILLEDEMA LIKELY FROM PSEUDOTUMOR CEREBRI

This is in a 20 year old female patient complaining of headaches.  The optic nerves are edematous.  She well see her neurologist and get an MRI and a lumbar puncture to assess CSF pressure and rule out any CNS lesions that could cause brain pressure to increase.  Most likely this is due to pseudotumor cerebri and she will likely be administered oral carbonic anhydrase inhibitor medication and institute a weight loss goal.  If the diagnosis changes, then this post will be updated. 

ASTEROID HYALOSIS

The yellow-white speckles floating in this person's eyes is called asteroid hyalosis.  The amazing thing is that these floaters are not noticed by patients.

RETINOSCHISIS

A retinoschisis is a separation of the retina from itself.  There are 9 layers to the retina and the outer layers remain attached to the underlying pigment epithelium and Bruch's membrane.  A retinal detachment would be a detachment of all of the retinal layers from the underlying structures.  Vision remains in a retinoschisis whereas it is mostly lost in a detachment.  

WEDGE RNFL DEFECT IN GLAUCOMA

This photo demonstrates a superior wedge retinal nerve fiber layer defect, correlating with significant optic nerve cupping with a notch in the superior optic nerve rim and a significant inferior field loss.
