Optical Coherence Tomography Findings in Patients with Degenerative Retinoschisis and Symptomatic Retinal Detachment.

This article describes the optical coherence tomography (OCT) findings in 4 patients with degenerative retinoschisis and symptomatic retinal detachment. All patients underwent pars plana vitrectomy, fluid gas exchange, and endolaser treatment. The OCT appearance of retinoschisis and visual outcomes were variable. OCT appears to be useful in understanding the anatomy and extent of the retinoschisis, especially in cases associated with retinal detachment. Copyright 2010, SLACK Incorporated.
