Objective To evaluate the clinical features of macular retinoschisis (MRS) and macular retinal detachment without hole (MRDH) in highly myopic eyes. Methods The clinical data of 19 patients (24 eyes) with MRS and MRDH from 186 patients (349 eyes) with high myopia were retrospectively analyzed. All of the patients had undergone the examinations of subjective refraction, binocular indirect ophthalmoscope, slit lamp microscope combined with Goldmann threemirror contact lens, fundus images, A/Bscan ultrasonography, and optical coherence tomography (OCT). Results In 349 eyes, 24 (6.9%) had MRS and (or) MRDH at the posterior pole. The results of ocualr fundus examinations showed that all of the 24 eyes (100%) had posterior scleral staphyloma (PS), 2 (8.3%) had vitreomacular traction (VMT), 2 (8.3%) had macular local superficial retinal detachment, and 1 (4.2%) had fullthickness macular hole. The results of Bscan ultrasonography also indicated PS in all 24 eyes (100%), macular local superficial retinal detachment in 7 (29.2%) with a bowlike configuration formed by the detached retina and the coneshaped roof of PS, and VMT in 2 (8.3%). The results of OCT revealed macular outerlayer retinoschisis (ORS) in 22 eyes (91.7%) in which 8 (36.4%) also had macular innerlayer retinoschisis (IRS); MRDH in 5 eyes (20.8%) in which ORS was found in 3 (60.0%) and simplex MRDH in 2 (40.0%) including 1 with VMT; VMT in 13 eyes (54.2%); cystoid macular edema (CME) in 3 eyes (12.5%); and lamellar macular hole in 4 eyes (16.7%). Conclusions MRS and MRDH are common complications in highly myopic eyes with posterior scleral staphyloma.OCT is more sensitive and accurate in detecting MRS and MRDH than routine ophthalmoscopic examination and B-scan ultrasonography.
ObjectiveTo observe and compare the outcomes of vitrectomy (PPV) combined with complete internal limiting membrane (ILM) peeling and fovea-sparing ILM peeling for the high myopic foveoschisis (MF).MethodsA retrospective case study was performed. From June 2016 to June 2018, 31 eyes of 31 patients with high myopic MF diagnosed in Department of Ophthalmology of Central Theater Command General Hospital were included in the study. There were 9 males and 22 females, who were monocular. The mean age was 57.55±9.45 years. All patients underwent BCVA, diopter, spectral domain OCT and axial length measurement. Snellen visual acuity chart was used for BCVA examination, and which was converted into logMAR visual acuity. According to the surgical method, patients were divided into PPV combined with ILM complete removal group (group A) and PPV combined with retained fovea ILM group (group B), which were 16 patients (16 eyes) and 15 patients (15 eyes ), respectively. The mean logMAR BCVA was 1.03±0.33 in group A and 1.11±0.35 in group B. The mean CFT was 596.51±196.69 μm in group A and 578.33±200.18 μm. There were no statistically significant differences in age (t=0.649, P=0.527), AL (t=-0.639, P=0.533), logMAR BCVA (t=-0.368, P=0.718), CFT (t=0.228, P=0.823) and MF type (P=0.576) between the two groups. The mean follow-up time after operation was 18.65±5.15 months. At 7 d, 1, 3, 6 and 12 months after surgery, and at the last follow-up, the same equipment and methods for relevant examinations. The changes of BCVA, CFT, macular hole and other complications were compared between the two groups. Comparison of BCVA and CFT between the two groups before and after operation was performed by paired t test. The count data were compared by using Fisher exact probability method.ResultsAt the last follow-up, MF was completely restored in 27 eyes (87.1%) of 31 eyes, partially restored in 4 eyes (12.9%). The mean logMAR BCVA of group A and Group B was 0.67±0.24 and 0.64±0.21, respectively. The average CFT was 126.25±36.61 μm and 134.27±25.29 μm, respectively. Compared with pre-operation, BCVA was obviously improved in both groups (t=6.630, 9.260; P=0.000, 0.000), CFT was significantly decreased in both groups (t=10.206, 8.799; P=0.000, 0.000). There were no statistically significant differences in logMAR BCVA and CFT between the two groups (t=0.156, -0.924; P=0.878, 0.371). In group A, full-thickness macular hole occurred in 1 eye (6.3%), while no macular hole occurred in group B. There was no significant difference in macular hole incidence between two groups (χ2=0.969, P=0.516). No intraocular hemorrhage, endophthalmitis and other complications occurred during the follow-up period.ConclusionsPPV combined with ILM peeling or fovea-sparing ILM peeling is effective in the treatment of high myopic MF. Both may contribute to improved MF closure rate and BCVA.
Objective To analyze the pathogenesy and mutation of X-linked juvenile retinoschisis (XLRS) 1 gene in XLRS families, and to provide the theory basis in directing gene diagnosis. Methods The mutation of XLRS1 gene code in two XLRS families were detected and screened by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and DNA direct sequence determination. Results Pro193Ser mutation was detected in family 1. Conclusion Pro193Ser mutation could be found in XLRS families, which can be used for genetic consultation and prenatal gene diagnosis.

Objective To observe the the clinical characteristics of images of optic coherence tomography (OCT) in highly myopic eyes with retinoschisis. Methods The clincial data of 158 patients (158 eyes) with high myopia diagnosed by examinations of best corrected visual acuity and refraction, indirect stereoscopic ophthalmoloscopy, A/Bscan ultrasonography, and OCT, were retrospectively analyzed. The patients were divided into retinoschisis group and nonretinoschisis group according to the results of OCT (whether the patients had macular reinoschisis at the posterior pole). There were 53 patients (55 eyes, 34.8%) in the former group, and 101 patients (103 eyes, 65.2%) in the latter group. The age, sex, diopter, visual acuity, ocular axial length, and incidence of posterior scleral staphyloma, vitreous traction, and retinal detachment of the two groups were compared. Results B-scan ultrasonography showed posterior scleral staphloma in all of the 158 eyes. OCT indicated that in the 55 eyes in the retinnoschisis group, 15 (27.3%) had inner, 53 (96.4%)had outer, and 7 (12.7%)had middle retinoschisis. The inner and outer one could exist independently or in the same eye, while the middle one was always accompanied by the outer retinoschisis. Two or more types of schisis coexisted in 13 eyes (23.6%), single outer retinoschisis was found in 40 eyes (72.7%), and single inner retinoschisis was found in 2 eyes (3.6%). There were 26 eyes(47.3%)were accompanied with retinal detachment, 13 eyes(23.6%) with macular hole, and 12 eyes (21.8%)with vitreous traction. In the 103 eyes in the nonretinoschisis group, 23 eyes (22.3%)had vitreous traction, 19 eyes (18.4%) had macular hole, and 21 eyes (20.4%)had retinal detachment. The differences of age, diopter and ocular axial length, sex, incidence of macular hole and vitreous traction between the two groups were not statistically significant (Pgt;005). The visual acuity in retinoschisis group was much lower than that in the nonretinoschisis group (Plt;005), and the difference of incidence of the retinal detachment between the two groups was significant (Plt;001). 〖WTHZ〗Conclusion 〖WTBZ〗Macular retinoschisis in eyes with high myopia can exist in inner or middle retina, but most of them locate at outer retina.The patients always have poor visual acuity and are often accompanied by other macular lesions such as retinal detachment.
ObjectiveTo evaluate the outcomes of laser photocoagulation of congenital X-linked retinoschisis (XLRS) at progressive stage. MethodsTwenty-seven cases (36 eyes) of XLRS sick kids were enrolled in this study. All patients were followed up for more than 1 year, retinoschisis has developed slowly but complications occurred during the follow-up. They are all boys from 3 to 12 years old; the average age was 6.47 years old. There were 18 unilateral cases, 9 bilateral cases. The affected eyes were randomly divided into treatment group and control group (n=18 eyes). The treatment group eyes received multi-wavelength krypton yellow laser photocoagulation around the retinoschisis, but no laser spots were laid in a optic-disk area surrounding the macular and optic disc. Children in the control group were followed up every six months without treatment. Both groups of children were followed up for 3 years. The best corrected visual acuity (BCVA, logMAR), complications (vitreous hemorrhage, retinal detachment) were measured at the last follow up. ResultsAt the last follow-up, the treatment group mean logMAR BCVA was 0.73±0.41, which is the same as pre-treatment BCVA (t=1.187, P=0.201). The control group mean logMAR BCVA 0.88 ±0.60, which is the same as pre-treatment BCVA (t=-2.093, P=0.033). The changes of the BCVA in these two groups was statistically different (t=-2.093, P=0.033). For the treated 18 eyes, visual acuity improved in four eyes (22.2%); not changed in 10 eyes (55.6%) and decreased in four eyes (22.2%). For the 18 eyes in the control group, visual acuity improved in three eyes (16.7%); not changed in four eyes (22.2%) and decreased in 11 eyes (61.1%). The vision reduction rate in treatment group was statistically less than the control group (χ2=5.600, P<0.01). There were 2 eyes (11.1%) and 7 eyes (38.9%) with serious complications in the treated and control eyes respectively. The complication rate treatment group was statistically less than the control group (χ2=3.710,P<0.05). ConclusionLaser photocoagulation can stabilize or improve vision of advanced XLRS patients, and prevent the occurrence of serious complications.
High myopia (HM) is one of the main causes of vision loss. In recent years, optical coherence tomography and other techniques have shown a variety of vitreoretinal interface abnormalities (VRIA) in highly myopic eyes. Posterior vitreous detachment and paravascular abnormality are the relatively common manifestations of VRIA. Posterior vitreous detachment is classified in several different ways in HM eyes, the onset age of which is earlier in HM. Paravascular abnormality mainly includes paravascular microfold, paravascular cyst, paravascular lamellar hole, and paravascular retinoschisis. The former two are early-stage lesions, the latter two are advanced lesions. VRIA is closely related to many HM's fundus complications, such as myopic retinoschisis, macular hole, retinal detachment and so on. VRIA may develop into myopic retinoschisis, which in turn develop into full-thickness macular hole, and even retinal detachment. Therefore, the examination and judgment of VRIA in HM patients are of great significance for the early prevention and treatment of clinical retina diseases.
