This 52YO female was referred for a possible retinal detachment in her left eye. There were no visual symptoms.
Optos color RGB imaging shows inferotemporal retinoschisis with numerous inner retinal refractile dots. Optos California swept-source OCT confirms schisis with splitting of the outer plexiform layer.
Learning Points:
Degenerative retinoschisis is an age-related splitting of the outer plexiform layer, most commonly located inferotemporally.
It is sometimes difficult to differentiate a schisis from a rhegmatogenous detachment, and ultrawidefield OCT imaging, as in this case, is an amazing diagnostic tool.
