OBJECTIVE
To report a case of retinoschisis and dialysis associated with bilateral posterior microphthalmos and papillomacular fold.
METHODS
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.
CONCLUSIONS
Retinoschisis and dialysis may occur in patients with posterior microphthalmos with papillomacular fold. Optical coherence tomography may be helpful in assessing these patients.
