“…The reasons why this case may be of interest to practitioners in the area are as follows. The presence of the peripheral retinal degeneration requiring PPLP in a female patient with mild myopia, which confirms the findings of others that the zones of peripheral vitreochorioretinal degeneration (PVCRD) in the fundus may be detected in pregnant women with moderate myopia, mild myopia, emmetropia or hypermetropia [3,6,8]. In this connection, some authors [2,5,8] believe that barrier laser photocoagulation of PVCRD zones and retinal tears with a creation of a strong laser coagulation barrier around these zones or tears is an effective means for preventing retinal rhegmatogenous detachment.…”

“…It has been reported that the peripheral retinal degeneration requiring PPLP was detected not only in patients with high myopia, but also in those with moderate myopia, mild myopia, emmetropia or hypermetropia [2,3]. Among patients with any peripheral retinal degeneration, those with vitreoretinal forms like lattice degeneration and snail-track degeneration bear the highest risk of retinal detachment [4][5][6][7][8].…”

Background: An eye examination of a pregnant woman is a mandatory phase of her preparation for delivery, with a special attention given to ophthalmic symptoms and relevant recommendations for delivery management. Purpose: To examine spectral domain ocular coherence tomography (SD-OCT) changes in retinal periphery and to provide grounds for the tactics of preparing a pregnant woman for delivery by performing preventive peripheral laser photocoagulation (PPLP). Material and Methods: A 35-year-old myopic woman at 38 weeks of gestation underwent a routine eye examination (visual acuity assessment, refractometry, tonometry, perimetry, biomicroscopy, and ophthalmoscopy), ultrasound biometry and SD-OCT (Heidelberg Engineering). Results: The patient was diagnosed with mild myopia along with peripheral lattice degeneration and peripheral cystic degeneration of the retina in both eyes and local retinal detachment with atrophic retinal breaks in the right eye. The peripheral vitreoretinal lattice degeneration was arrested and the local retinal detachment was limited by laser-induced chorioretinal adhesions.Conclusion: Spectral domain ocular coherence tomography provides an objective picture of the state of both the macular and the periphery of the retina, and, along with biomicroscopy and ophthalmoscopy, provides grounds for the tactics of care for pregnant women for preventing retinal detachment. The outcome of timely preventive laser treatment allowed us to conclude that the patient had no ocular contraindications to vaginal delivery.

“…OCT has confirmed all histopathological features of lattice degeneration and has been proposed as an additional instrument in determining the need for prophylactic laser treatment for this condition. 4 5 More importantly, these studies have shown that the evaluation of peripheral retinal lesions is possible with clinical OCT.…”

Purpose: To describe a series of cases of lattice degeneration of the retina imaged with optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA). Methods: Four eyes of four patients were included and evaluated with green reflectance using a confocal scanning laser ophthalmoscopy and OCTA. In each case, the microcirculation of the retina and choriocapillaris within the lesion, as well as choroidal thickness beneath the lesion, were assessed. Results: OCTA showed regional loss of retinal perfusion and rarefication of the choriocapillaris network within the lesion and the presence of venous collectors in the choroid beneath the lesion. The choroid was substantially thinner beneath the lesion compared to the adjacent normal region. Cross-sectional OCT scans showed retinal thinning, vitreal adhesion, atrophic holes, and subretinal fluid within the lesions. Conclusion: Lattice degeneration is characterized by significant local changes in retinal and choroidal microcirculation which may play an important role in the pathophysiology of lattice degeneration.
