Case Report: Glaucoma-associated Peripapillary Retinoschisis with Corresponding Lamina Cribrosa Defect

CONCLUSIONS As seen in this case, peripapillary retinoschisis typically alters retinal nerve fiber layer thickness on OCT and can be mistakenly attributed to glaucomatous change. Glaucoma-associated peripapillary retinoschisis is usually not vision threatening and can be managed conservatively; in rare cases of progression to macular involvement, patients should be referred to a retina specialist.
