“…[19][20][21][22] Those diseases have definite causes such as congenital retinal abnormalities and vitreous traction. Foveoschisis also has been reported in eyes with glaucoma, [23][24][25][26][27] which indicates the vulnerability of the optic disk in glaucomatous eyes. In the current study, we report our experience in elderly patients with idiopathic foveomacular retinoschisis, which is not inherited and not associated with myopia, VMTS, pit macular syndrome, or glaucoma.…”

“…It has also been reported rarely in patients with glaucoma without optic disc pits 2–5. Although the pathogenesis in this context remains to be elucidated, some authors have inferred that a probable cause is the flow of vitreous fluids into the retina via a micro hole in the thin tissue of the optic disc triggered by ocular hypertension or vitreoretinal traction 2–4.…”

This article reports a case of possible involvement of membrane tissue on the optic disc with macular schisis formation associated with glaucomatous optic disc without optic disc pits. A 78-year-old man presented with loss of central visual acuity of the left eye. He had a medical history of primary open-angle glaucoma. Visual acuity was 0.6 in his left eye, and funduscopy revealed macular schisis and a glaucomatous optic disc without optic disc pits. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) revealed membrane tissue on the optic disc and a tunnel-like hyporeflective lesion connecting the schisis cavity and a site near the tissue, but no obvious optic disc pit. He underwent pars plana vitrectomy during which the membrane tissue on the disc and internal limiting membrane were removed. Posterior vitreous detachment was observed intraoperatively. Thereafter, the tunnel-like lesion observed on OCT was rapidly obscured and the macular schisis gradually reduced. Eighteen months after surgery, his visual acuity had improved to 0.9 with almost complete regression of the macular schisis. No optic disc pit was visualized after surgery. The changes in OCT findings described here suggest an etiology for macular schisis without optic disc pits in an eye with a glaucomatous optic disc with posterior vitreous detachment. A connection between the schisis cavity and the vitreous cavity may have appeared via the tunnel-like structure due to the membrane tissue exerting traction on the optic disc.

“…Peripapillary retinoschisis associated with primary open angle glaucoma or narrow angle glaucoma and macular retinoschisis associated with angle closure glaucoma have been reported previously 3 4 6 7. The common characteristics of all these patients are large cup-to-disc ratio (thin rim), high IOP together with fluctuations and liquefied vitreous.…”

“…Peripapillary retinoschisis associated with open angle glaucoma, narrow angle glaucoma and normal tension glaucoma have been reported previously 3 4 6 7. However, to the best of our knowledge, there is no report of macular and peripapillary retinoschisis associated with pseudoexfoliation glaucoma.…”

Peripapillary and macular retinoschisis in a patient with pseudoexfoliation glaucoma

A 55-year-old man was admitted with a 2-year history of pseudoexfoliation glaucoma. The best-corrected visual acuities were 10/10 in both eyes. Pseudoexfoliation material was noted on the iris and the lens capsule. Fundus examination evidenced cup-to-disc ratio of 0.7 OD and 0.9 OS with peripapillary atrophy. Gonioscopy revealed open angles. Optical coherence tomography demonstrated peripapillary retinoschisis extending to the nasal macula in the left eye and optic nerve head was almost fully excavated. Coexisting retinoschisis in a patient with glaucoma may interfere with the reliability of retinal nerve fibre layer and ganglion cell complex analysis and may change the treatment plan and follow-up intervals.
