Retrospective, consecutive case series of patients with TRS secondary to PDR are featured. Clinical notes, fundus photography, and SS-OCTA images are reviewed. The study comprised three eyes of three patients with PDR and TRS. Visual acuity and anatomic features on SS-OCTA were stable in all patients at one year or more of follow-up. Tractional retinoschisis secondary to PDR is typically nonprogressive and may be observed without surgery. SS-OCTA serves as a noninvasive and effective imaging tool to distinguish TRS from TRD and to demonstrate anatomic stability over time. <b>[<i>Ophthalmic Surg Lasers Imaging Retina</i> 2024;55:XX-XX.]</b>.</p>","PeriodicalId":19679,"journal":{"name":"Ophthalmic surgery, lasers & imaging retina","volume":" ","pages":"1-5"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143009226","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Lesions were measured between 2.8 to 12 mm in largest basal diameter and 1.3 to 4.4 mm in thickness and described as globular, raised areas with focal retinal telangiectasis often associated with overlying subretinal fluid or hemorrhage. Median time between initial retinoblastoma treatment and detection of RGVP was 20 years. Treatment was decided based on evidence of lesion growth and most often consisted of laser photocoagulation and intravitreal anti-VEGF injection.
