Ultrasound biomicroscopy of the peripheral retina and the ciliary body in degenerative retinoschisis associated with pars plana cysts

Table 1

Eighteen eyes of 12 patients with degenerative retinoschisis

Sex Age Eye Refraction Peripheral retinal lesions Ciliary body changes
1 M 46 RE +0.50 cil (90) RS from 9 to 2 hr with OLB at 12 hr and RD from 10 to 2 hr; RS from 6 to 8.30 hr Pars plana cysts in UN, UT, and LT quadrants
LE +0.75 cil (70) RS from 12 to 2 hr; RS from 4 to 6 hr Pars plana cysts in UT and LT quadrants
2 M 70 RE -1.25 sf RS in UT quadrant Pars plana cysts in UT quadrant
3 M 67 LE +3.25 sf = +1 cil (100) RS from 12 to 3 hr; RS from 4 to 7 hr with OLB at 7 hr and RD posteriorly exceeding the RS Pars plana cysts in UT quadrant
4 F 57 RE Unaided RS from 6 to 9 hr with OLB at 8 hr and RD from 6.30 to 9 hr Pars plana cysts and microcysts in LT quadrant
LE Unaided RS from 11 to 2 hr; RS from 4 to 7 hr with two large OLBs at 5 and 6 hr along the posterior edge of the schisis Pars plana cysts in UT quadrant
5 F 66 RE +2.50 sf RS in temporal quadrants with OLB and RD in UT quadrant Pars plana cysts and microcysts in UT quadrant
LE +2.50 sf RS in UT and LT quadrants Pars plana cysts in UT and LT quadrants
6 M 49 LE +1.50 sf = +0.50cil (170) RS in LT quadrant Pars plana cysts in LT quadrant
7 M 78 RE -0.50 sf = +1.25cil (180) RS in all quadrants at 360° Cysts from the pars plicata to the pars plana at 360°
LE -0.25 sf = +1.25cil (180) RS at 360°, especially in lower quadrants Cysts as in RE (see above), especially in lower quadrants
8 M 50 LE +2 sf Small RS from 12 to 2 hr Pars plana cysts and microcysts in UT quadrant
9 F 25 LE -0.5 sf RS from 3 to 6 hr with tiny ILBs Shallow pars plana cyst in LT quadrant
10 F 58 RE +2.25 sf RS from 7 to 9 hr Pars plana cysts in LT quadrant
LE +2 RS from 4 to 7 hr Pars plana cysts in LT and LN quadrants
11 F 67 RE Unaided RS from 6 to 9 hr with OLB and RD Pars plana cysts in LT quadrant
LE Unaided RS from 3 to 6 hr Shallow cleavage and cysts of the pars plana from LT to UT and UN quadrants
12 F 57 LE +1 sf = +0.50 cil (180) RS from 1 to 5 hr with two small OLBs and initial RD in LT quadrant Small pars plana microcysts in UT and LT quadrants
  • hr = clock hours; RS = retinoschisis; OLB: outer retinal layer break ILB = inner retinal layer break; RD = retinal detachment.

  • Eye quadrants: UT = upper temporal; LT = lower temporal; LN = lower nasal; UN = upper nasal.
