ABSTRACT
Retinoschisis is an abnormal separation of the retinal layers and is asymptomatic in most cases. Enlargement of the area of retinoschisis and retinal tear and detachment are possible complications of the disease, and the treatment of retinoschisis is controversial. In this case report, we present a case of retinal detachment associated with senile retinoschisis in which pneumatic retinopexy was chosen as the treatment of choice and was performed successfully in one of the eyes. After a literature review on retinoschisis and pneumatic retinopexy for the treatment of associated retinal detachment, we found only one case that was successfully treated without drainage of subretinal fluid, using air as the filler. However, no previous reports have been found in the literature on the effectiveness of pneumatic retinopexy using C3F8 as the sole treatment for progressive retinal detachment in senile retinoschisis.
RESUMO
Retinosquise significa uma separação anormal das camadas da retina e, na maioria dos casos, é assintomática. Aumento da área de retinosquise, roturas e descolamento de retina são possíveis complicações da doença, sendo seus tratamentos controversos. Nesse relato, apresentamos um caso de descolamento de retina associado à retinosquise senil em que foi optado pela retinopexia pneumática como primeiro tratamento, com sucesso em um dos olhos tratados. Revisada literatura sobre retinosquises e retinopexia pneumática para tratamento de descolamento de retina associado, foi encontrado apenas um caso tratado com sucesso, sem drenagem de líquido sub-retiniano, utilizando-se ar como agente tamponante. Não existem relatos na literatura de retinopexia pneumática efetiva utilizando C3F8 como tratamento único para descolamento de retina progressivo na retinosquise senil.
