Abstract
PURPOSE: To demonstrate a novel technique for capturing optical coherence tomography images of peripheral retina and its application in identifying rhegmatogenous retinal detachments within bullous retinoschisis. OBSERVATIONS: We report two patients presenting with bullous retinoschisis noted on clinical examination. After performing optical coherence tomography studies utilizing our image acquisition technique these lesions were found to be associated with rhegmatogenous retinal detachments. Both patients were subsequently treated without further complications. CONCLUSIONS AND IMPORTANCE: The image acquisition technique described herein allows visualization of peripheral retina utilizing optical coherence tomography studies to identify areas of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment within bullous retinoschisis that are otherwise difficult to discern.
