title: Laser photocoagulation in intermediate uveitis associated with retinoschisis.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To describe cases of pars planitis associated with retinoschisis, in which laser photocoagulation was carried out.
  
  
  METHODS
  Retrospective review.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Three pars planitis cases were associated with retinoschisis and underwent laser photocoagulation. All cases were idiopathic. Retinoschisis was located in the inferior retinal quadrants in all cases and all of them were in bullous formation. None of the cases developed retinal detachment.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  As well as posterior vitreous detachment, or peripheral retinal tears, retinoschisis may accompany pars planitis. Laser photocoagulation of the pars plana is effective in these cases both as a treatment and to prevent sight-threatening complications like retinal detachment.
