“…Previous studies have reported intrachoroidal cavitation or peripapillary detachment in pathologic myopia but not in normal eyes [4–7]. Here, we reported a case of intrachoroidal cavitation in an eye with normal length and having PPA, resulting in self-limited recurrent macular detachment and retinoschisis.…”

Purpose: To describe a patient with intrachoroidal cavitation in the normal eye that caused self-limiting recurrent macular detachment and retinoschisis. Case Report: An 80-year-old female patient with intrachoroidal cavitation in the normal eye presented with macular detachment and retinoschisis after cataract surgery. These were treated with intravitreal bevacizumab and then absorbed within 9 months. One year after cataract surgery, the patient presented with macular detachment and retinoschisis in the same eye again. These were absorbed within 4 months without treatment. Conclusion: This case suggests that similar cases of cystoid macular edema after cataract surgery can occur, and that intrachoroidal cavitation is observed not only in eyes with pathologic myopia but also in normal eyes with peripapillary atrophy; intrachoroidal cavitation can cause macular detachment and retinoschisis.

“…However, recent studies have reported other causes of macular detachment and retinoschisis [4–7]. Intrachoroidal cavitations are often observed in pathologic myopia, but not in normal eyes, and can result in retinoschisis and macular serous detachment [5, 8].…”

“…1,2 Some investigators believe the anomaly is congenital in origin owing to the presence of a cleftlike communication between the retina and choroid with vitreous prolapse and anomalous vessels. 3 However, we observed a case that developed similar findings but due to a different cause, the gradual sinking of peripapillary retinal tissue into a sclerochoroidal cavity associated with retinal hole formation and posterior vitreous prolapse, newly termed myopic peripapillary sinkhole.…”
