PURPOSE: To describe a case of stellate nonhereditary idiopathic foveomacular retinoschisis associated with outer retinal layer defect treated with pars plana vitrectomy, internal limiting membrane removal, and C3F8 tamponade. METHODS: Spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (Heidelberg Engineering, Heidelberg, Germany) scans of a 46-year-old woman with unilateral stellate nonhereditary idiopathic foveomacular retinoschisis were acquired at baseline and 1, 3, 6, and 12 months after surgery. RESULTS: Pars plana vitrectomy was performed after phacoemulsification. The vitreous was circumcised, and the internal limiting membrane was removed with a Tano brush, releasing tangential forces. The patient experienced progressive recovery of the outer retinal layers and improvement of visual acuity during follow-up. CONCLUSION: Stellate nonhereditary idiopathic foveomacular retinoschisis may be associated with outer retinal layer defect and severe vision loss. Pars plana vitrectomy with internal limiting membrane removal and C3F8 infusion seems to be a safe and feasible treatment in such cases, with potentially good anatomical and functional outcome.
