Abstract
To describe a rare case of bullous senile retinoschisis without schisis detachment in a patient who developed visual loss. An 84-year-old woman presented with inferotemporal bullous senile retinoschisis from the 2:00- to 8:00-o'clock meridians overlying the left macula. Pars plana vitrectomy, endolaser photocoagulation over the schisis area, and gas-fluid exchange with a 20% mixture of SF6 were performed. Complete reattachment of the inner retinal layer was achieved. Senile retinoschisis without schisis detachment does not usually require surgical management. This case shows an exceptional indication for surgical intervention.
