Peripapillary retinoschisis associated with glaucomatous optic neuropathy (clinical cases)

Abstract

Peripapillary retinoschisis is a rare condition and is detected more often in patients with glaucoma or glaucoma suspects, while data on the pathophysiological mechanisms of development and the effect on the course of glaucoma are limited. The article presents two clinical cases of unilateral peripapillary retinoschisis detected accidentally during a routine examination of patients with glaucoma.
