Pneumatic Retinopexy with Focal Laser Photocoagulation for Myopic Foveoschisis with Macular Detachment.
Retinal Cases & Brief Reports 2023 August 23
PURPOSE: To describe the clinical course and imaging of a case of myopic foveoschisis (MF) with macular detachment (MD), microbreak and epiretinal membrane (ERM) managed with pneumatic retinopexy (PR) and focal laser photocoagulation (FLP) of the microbreak.
METHODS: Retrospective Case Review of a highly myopic, phakic Caucasian man who developed vision loss due to MF with MD.
RESULTS: 66 year old phakic man with a refractive error of -13.25-2.25x150 in his left eye (OS) and one month visual loss who was diagnosed with MF with MD, microbreak and ERM developed recurrent, isolated, posterior, partial macular detachment one month after PR. CMT was 901um. Repeat PR with supplemental FLP surrounding the inferior macular periarteriolar microbreak achieved re-attachment and improvement in the retinoschisis with return of visual acuity from 20/150 to baseline 20/40+ at 18 month follow-up.
CONCLUSION: PR with FLP may provide an alternative to vitrectomy and MP for the repair of MF with MD and ERM.
