Scleral buckling surgery for the repair of binocular combined retinoschisis and retinal detachment: a case report

ABSTRACT

Congenital retinoschisis is an uncommon ocular disorder, and combined retinoschisis and retinal detachment is rarer. Here, we report a case of binocular combined retinoschisis and retinal detachment in a 34-year-old male. We reattached the detached retina through scleral buckling. No recurrence of retinal detachment was found in each follow-up visit until the present. The satisfactory results of scleral buckling surgery for the repair of combined retinoschisis and retinal detachment indicate that this kind of patients can have the same surgery as those with ordinary rhegmatogenous retinal detachment
