Macular Schisis Detachment Associated With Angle-closure Glaucoma

Macular retinoschisis associated with normal tension glaucoma

“…The presence of the macular schisis in NTG supports the glaucoma-related "microhole" theory given by Hollander et al [4] and Zumbro et al [5].…”

“…They supposed that acute elevations in IOP may have led to small changes in axial length or severe optic nerve cupping that allowed vitreous to enter the retina [2][3][4][5].…”

“…As most cases were patients with increased intraocular pressure (IOP), authors hypothesized that fluctuations in IOP may have led to some kind of optic nerve fiber layer structural defect which allowed liquid vitreous to enter into the retina, and led to macular retinoschisis [3,4].…”

Clinical Characteristics of Idiopathic Foveomacular Retinoschisis

“…[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.…”

Retinosquises

“…Informações sobre esta molés-tia começaram a surgir a desde 1898 (1)(2)(3)(4) . As RQ secundárias (miopia (5)(6)(7)(8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14) , diabetes mellitus (15) , anemia falciforme (16) , "shaken baby" (17) , glaucoma agudo (18) , entre outras) não compõem o foco desta revisão. Todavia é conveniente sublinhar os vínculos existentes na miopia degenerativa com a foveosquises em 9-30%, agregando na patogenia o estiramento tecidual com as comutações da interface vítreorretiniana e a coexistência do estafiloma posterior (8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14) .…”
