AI Article Synopsis
- Peripapillary and macular retinoschisis are often linked to optic disc pits, but this case shows peripapillary retinoschisis occurring with optic disc hypoplasia instead.
- A 59-year-old woman's eye exam revealed normal vision and unique eye features such as dilated capillaries, without any evident optic disc pit.
- Despite ongoing monitoring for 17 years, her visual acuity and symptoms remained stable, highlighting that retinoschisis can occur in the context of optic disc hypoplasia.
Article Abstract
Peripapillary and macular retinoschisis are usually associated with optic disc pits. We report a rare case of peripapillary retinoschisis with optic disc hypoplasia. A 59-year-old woman presented with asthenopia. Her best-corrected visual acuity was 20/20 OD. Ophthalmoscopy of the right eye revealed peripapillary retinoschisis, optic disc hypoplasia and dilated and tortuous radial peripapillary capillaries. There was no obvious optic disc pit or vitreous traction on optical coherence tomography (OCT) or fluorescein angiography. OCT showed retinoschisis around the optic disc, a thin sheet of fenestrated tissue on the optic disc and absence of serous retinal detachment. These findings had been almost the same at a previous visit to our hospital 17 years previously. Peripapillary retinoschisis may occur in patients with optic disc hypoplasia. We report a case in which visual acuity and symptoms did not change significantly after 17 years of follow-up.

Ruthenium-106 brachytherapy and central uveal melanoma.
Int Ophthalmol
January 2025
Department of Ophthalmology, Staedtisches Klinikum Dessau, Brandenburg Medical School Theodor Fontane, Dessau, Germany.
Purpose: Uveal melanoma (UM) is the most common primary ocular malignancy. The size and location of the tumor are decisive for brachytherapy with the β-emitting ruthenium-106 (Ru-106) plaque. The treatment of juxtapapillary and juxtafoveolar UM may be challenging because of the proximity or involvement of the macula and optic nerve and high recurrence rates.

Retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) typically respond to light stimulation over their spatially restricted receptive field. Using large-scale recordings in the mouse retina, we show that a subset of non- direction-selective (DS) RGCs exhibit asymmetric activity, selective to motion direction, in response to a stimulus crossing an area far beyond the classic receptive field. The extraclassical response arises via inputs from an asymmetric distal zone and is enhanced by desensitization mechanisms and an inherent DS component, creating a network of neurons responding to motion toward the optic disc.

Black posterior vitreous detachment: A 10-year historical cohort of pigmented uveal tumors.

Faculty of Medical and Health Sciences, Tel Aviv University, Israel.
Objective: Pigmentary posterior vitreous detachment (PVD), referred to as "black PVD," is a rare entity describing PVD along with pigment dispersion in the vitreous. There are a few case reports describing pigmentary PVD, yet the association between pigmentary PVD and uveal and optic disc tumors was not described before. The aim of this study was to report the clinical features of patients with pigmentary PVD associated with these tumors.
