چکیده

optic discs were both normal. Foveal schisis and internal limiting membrane changes were observed in each eye (Figure 1). No vitreous detachment was present. Peripherally, there were a localized chorioretinal scar in the right eye and a relatively flat retinoschisis cavity in the left. Electroretinography demonstrated decreased b-wave amplitude, which was consistent with the diagnosis. After adequate dilation, OCT (Optical Coherence Tomograph version 3000; Zeiss Humphrey Instruments, Dublin, Calif) was performed. Six-millimeter radial sections of each macula were completed. The OCT figures demonstrated schisis of at least 2 retinal layers adjacent to the fovea. The center of the fovea, however, was not elevated (Figure 2).
