A 56-year-old female presented with sudden loss of vision in the left eye for past 4 days. She had undergone left eye cataract surgery 2 years back. Patient did not give history of trauma. On anterior segment examination, her intraocular lens (IOL) was noted to be in the bag with intact posterior capsule. Fundus examination revealed retinal detachment with macula off with a small superotemporal horseshoe tear. Whitish outer retinal spots were distinctly noted superotemporally, 2–3 disk diameter away from the fovea, extending till the equator [Figure 1]a. Swept source optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT) revealed multiple hyperreflective foci in the outer retinal layers, particularly the ellipsoid zone [Figure 1]b. These hyperreflective foci might have developed due to retinal degeneration. The distribution of the spots might indicate the path of spread of subretinal fluid and hence can be used to localize the causative retinal break.[1],[2] | Figure 1: (a) Fundus image showing whitish outer retinal spots of varying sizes, present superotemporally, 2–3 disk diameter away from the fovea (arrow), extending till the equator. (b) SS-OCT revealed multiple hyperreflective foci in the outer retinal layers, particularly the ellipsoid zone. SS-OCT = swept source optical coherence tomography
