An unusual case of retinoschisis and retinal detachment.
An unusual case of retinoschisis and associated retinal detachment in a 61-year-old man is reported. The case involved a retinoschisis area with 22 outer-layer retinal holes and two inner-layer retinal holes in the superior nasal quadrant of the left eye. The retinal detachment extended posteriorly beyond the schisis area. The patient's condition was managed with a combination of cryotherapy and a scleral buckle. Postoperatively, the did well despite the presence of a choroidal detachment that resolved in one month. Cases previously reported have not precisely listed the number of retinal holes. This case is unusual in that there are an unusually large number of retinal holes.
