Degenerative retinoschisis with giant outer layer breaks and retinal detachment
American Journal of Ophthalmology
|February 15, 1985
Summary
Giant posterior breaks in degenerative retinoschisis can cause retinal detachment. Surgical techniques like cryotherapy or laser with intraocular air offer better outcomes than scleral buckling, which may require removal due to macular distortion.
Area of Science:
- Ophthalmology
- Retinal Surgery
Background:
- Degenerative retinoschisis can lead to retinal detachment.
- Giant posterior breaks are a rare but serious complication.
