1/1. Optical coherence tomography of bilateral posterior microphthalmos with papillomacular fold and novel features of retinoschisis and dialysis.PURPOSE: To report a case of retinoschisis and dialysis associated with bilateral posterior microphthalmos and papillomacular fold. DESIGN: Observational case series. methods: Complete ophthalmologic examination of three of five siblings presenting with bilateral posterior microphthalmos and papillomacular fold. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) data are presented to confirm the abnormal anatomy. RESULTS: All subjects have bilateral elevated horizontal papillomacular retinal fold with cystoid macular edema and shallow subretinal fluid. Optical coherence tomography was consistent with our examinations. One subject, a 13-year-old Hispanic, initially presented with retinoschisis in the superotemporal quadrant of the left retina that developed 9 years later into a retinal dialysis without subretinal fluid. The right eye of this same patient developed retinoschisis in the far superotemporal retinal periphery during 9 years of observation. CONCLUSION: retinoschisis and dialysis may occur in patients with posterior microphthalmos with papillomacular fold. Optical coherence tomography may be helpful in assessing these patients.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = microphthalmos (Clic here for more details about this article) |
