Laser photocoagulation in intermediate uveitis associated with retinoschisis.

AbstractPURPOSE:
To describe cases of pars planitis associated with retinoschisis, in which laser photocoagulation was carried out.
METHODS:
Retrospective review.
RESULTS:
Three pars planitis cases were associated with retinoschisis and underwent laser photocoagulation. All cases were idiopathic. Retinoschisis was located in the inferior retinal quadrants in all cases and all of them were in bullous formation. None of the cases developed retinal detachment.
CONCLUSION:
As well as posterior vitreous detachment, or peripheral retinal tears, retinoschisis may accompany pars planitis. Laser photocoagulation of the pars plana is effective in these cases both as a treatment and to prevent sight-threatening complications like retinal detachment.
