ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
To assess the retinal modifications after cataract surgery in a patient presenting with stellate nonhereditary idiopathic foveomacular retinoschisis.METHODS:
Retrospective analysis of the evolution of retinal status in a 64-year-old patient with unilateral stellate nonhereditary idiopathic foveomacular retinoschisis who underwent cataract surgery in the affected eye.RESULTS:
Visual acuity improved after surgery, reaching back the level described by the patient before the cataract onset, whereas fundus retinographies and optical coherence tomographies were stable at one month after surgery, compared with the preoperative images.DISCUSSION:
This first case-report of the evolution of stellate nonhereditary idiopathic foveomacular retinoschisis after cataract surgery suggests that this retinal condition is not modified by the surgical procedure, which however needs to confirmed by larger cohorts.
