Lattice Degeneration

Congratulations to Justin Grassmeyer, Ambar Faridi, and Brittany Heckerman. for submitting the Retina Rocks Case of the Month. This 63YO male with history of idiopathic central serous chorioretinopathy (ICSC) with secondary macular neovascularization OD and lattice degeneration OU presented with new floaters in his right eye. He was scheduled for an anti-VEGF injection for the right eye on a treat-and-extend protocol the same day. Vision was stable at 20/100 OD and 20/20 OS. An acute related retinal tear was found which was immediately demarcated with thermal laser photocoagulation. Optos color RG imaging immediately following the laser procedure shows the retinal break to be well-surrounded with multiple nearly confluent rows of laser burns. The flap of the tear consists of an entire lattice lesion (green arrow) along with a chronic atrophic hole with surrounding pigment (yellow arrow). There is an area of central macular atrophy from the ICSC. Lattice lesions have a pocket of liquefied vitreous overlying thinned retina with a firm area of surrounding vitreoretinal adhesion. White, fibrosed vessels often crisscross the lesions, which lead to the name, lattice. This firm vitreoretinal adhesion, along with the often-present atrophic holes, is what can predispose these eyes to retinal breaks and detachment. Although prophylactic treatment is rarely needed, symptomatic breaks as in our patient need prompt retinopexy.
