Course: Combined Retinoschisis and Rhegmatogenous Retinal Detachment With a Very Large Outer Retinal Hole

CME Credits: 1.00

Released: 2022-10-20

A patient in their 40s presented with acute onset of flashes and floaters in the right eye. Their best-corrected visual acuity was 20/20 OU. Funduscopic examination of the right eye revealed an inferotemporal area of dome-shaped retinal elevation, consistent with a combined retinoschisis and rhegmatogenous retinal detachment, sparing the fovea (). A small, round, inner retinal break and a very large outer retinal break, inferotemporal to the macula edge, was seen, prompting urgent surgical intervention. Optical coherence tomography imaging confirmed moderate subretinal fluid sparing the fovea and intraretinal cysts consistent with retinoschisis (, inset), prompting urgent surgical intervention with pars plana vitrectomy, laser, and oil tamponade. The patient's retina remained attached, and the oil was subsequently removed with excellent postoperative vision.
