Comparing fundus autofluorescence and infrared imaging findings of peripheral retinoschisis, schisis detachment, and retinal detachment
Purpose: The primary goal of this study was to identify characteristic features of peripheral degenerative retinoschisis (RS), schisis detachment (SD) and retinal detachment (RD) on both fundus autofluorescence (FAF) and infrared (IR) imaging, using spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-O...

Methods: This is a descriptive case series study. A total of 27 eyes of 22 patients were included.

Results: All conditions appeared as areas of hypo-AF on FAF and hypo-reflectance on IR imaging. Accentuated vasculature of the lesion was noted with IR imaging due to elevation of the RS and RD, which was less frequently observed with FAF. On FAF, a hyper-AF leading edge around the RS lesion indicated the presence of intraretinal or subretinal fluid and an extension of the RS. Retinal breaks/holes were best visualized with IR imaging. SD-OCT confirmed the diagnosis in all performed cases. Conclusions: We were unable to differentiate between RS and RD based solely on findings from FAF and IR imaging.
