Abstract:
PURPOSE: To present a case of idiopathic foveal retinoschisis in a patient with new-onset proliferative diabetic retinopathy. METHODS: Single case report. RESULTS: A 64-year-old African American man with Type 2 diabetes mellitus presented for a routine annual diabetic eye examination with mildly blurred vision at near and distance in the right eye. Fluorescein angiography demonstrated optic nerve leakage consistent with neovascularization of the disk but no leakage on or around the macula in the right eye. Optical coherence tomography demonstrated peripapillary macular retinoschisis within the outer plexiform layer without optic disk pit, epiretinal membrane, or diabetic tractional membrane. He underwent pan-retinal photocoagulation in the right eye; his acuity and schisis remained unchanged at 6-month follow-up. CONCLUSION: This is the first reported case of idiopathic acquired macular schisis with new-onset nontractional proliferative diabetic retinopathy in the same eye.
