Retinoschisis and retinal detachment.

Retinoschisis and retinal detachment.

Reports have been published of retinal detachment originating from a retinoschisis, when breaks occur through both the inner and outer layers of the cyst (Kurz, I938; Leffertstra, 1948; Teng and Katzin, 1953; Shea, Schepens, and von Pirquet, I960; Curtin, Norton, and Smith, I960; Pischel, I963; Paul, I963; Byer, I968). However, detachments developing in the presence of a retinoschisis, but from...

Retinoschisis transposition following a retinal detachment repair

OBJECTIVE The authors have observed this phenomenon of translocation of the schisis cavity in a few previous cases and aim to report this unusual finding. METHOD A patient with known superotemporal retinoschisis developed a distinctly separate inferotemporal retinal detachment in his left eye. This was repaired with a vitrectomy, cryotherapy and C2F6 tamponade under local anaesthetic. Followi...

Juvenile retinoschisis, anterior retinal dialysis, and retinal detachment.

Features associated with foveal retinal detachment in myopic macular retinoschisis.

PURPOSE To determine the retinal features seen on enhanced spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) associated with foveal retinal detachment in eyes with myopic macular retinoschisis. DESIGN Retrospective case series. METHODS We reviewed fundus photographs and conventional and enhanced SD-OCT images of 21 eyes of 19 patients with myopic macular retinoschisis. Features seen on ...
