Lattice-like degeneration

Lattice-like degeneration: Lattice-like degeneration is most closely related to retinal detachment. Omental fissures account for 40% of pore-sourced detached eyes, and about 7% of normal eyes have lattice-like degeneration. It is more common in the temporal or upper temporal quadrant between the equator and the serrated margin. It is fusiform or strip-shaped. The long axis is parallel to the serrated margin. The retina in the lesion is thinner and there are many white lines. These lines are actually peripheral vessels that have been occluded or have white sheaths. Pigment masses are sometimes seen in the lesions, originating from the retinal pigment epithelium.
