Abstract

In this report, we present a case of retinal detachment (RD) in the lower outer inferotemporal area involving the macula in the right eye, along with retinoschisis extending up to the inferior arcade in the left eye. A 59-year-old, medically fit female was referred to our center with a diagnosis of right-eye RD in the lower outer inferotemporal area involving the macula, along with retinoschisis extending up to the inferior arcade. In this brief case report, we demonstrate successful management, with a favorable anatomical and functional outcome of a retinoschisis-related rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD). The current case highlighted the presentation, anatomical outcomes, and functional outcomes with treatment modalities of retinoschisis-associated RD.

How strong is the evidence?

Evidence Hub reads this as a case report, done in people. Its evidence level is 5 of 5 (Very low · case / narrative / animal / in vitro / in silico). Case reports, narrative reviews, and animal, cell or computer-model studies give the weakest evidence for human health.

How the five levels of evidence work. The level is assigned automatically from the abstract and can be wrong, so check the paper.
