Abstract

A man in his 50s was referred for a suspected superotemporal retinal tear in the right eye. Fundus examination showed multiple areas of elevated retina temporally in both eyes which were immobile and did not reappose with scleral depression. No retinal breaks were present. Ultra-widefield colour fundus photography with Optos captured these areas of elevated retina in both eyes temporally, which on fundus autofluorescence where hypoautofluorescent with no leading hyperautofluorescent edge. On ultrasound biomicroscopy, an immobile lesion with a single hyperechoic convexity towards the vitreous body was noted. The patient was diagnosed with bilateral giant pars plana cysts which were managed conservatively.The multimodal imaging in our case is its distinguishing feature which can be used to help ensure accurate diagnosis when one is presented with an area of peripheral retina elevation.
