Recurrent Macular Detachment and Retinoschisis Associated with Intrachoroidal Cavitation in a Normal Eye

PURPOSE: To describe a patient with intrachoroidal cavitation in the normal eye that caused self-limiting recurrent macular detachment and retinoschisis. CASE REPORT: An 80-year-old female patient with intrachoroidal cavitation in the normal eye presented with macular detachment and retinoschisis af...

description PURPOSE: To describe a patient with intrachoroidal cavitation in the normal eye that caused self-limiting recurrent macular detachment and retinoschisis. CASE REPORT: An 80-year-old female patient with intrachoroidal cavitation in the normal eye presented with macular detachment and retinoschisis after cataract surgery. These were treated with intravitreal bevacizumab and then absorbed within 9 months. One year after cataract surgery, the patient presented with macular detachment and retinoschisis in the same eye again. These were absorbed within 4 months without treatment. CONCLUSION: This case suggests that similar cases of cystoid macular edema after cataract surgery can occur, and that intrachoroidal cavitation is observed not only in eyes with pathologic myopia but also in normal eyes with peripapillary atrophy; intrachoroidal cavitation can cause macular detachment and retinoschisis.
