Abstract
The outer retinoschisis is defined as a splitting of the outer retinal layers, mainly between the outer plexiform layer and the outer nuclear layer. The inner retinoschisis is defined as a retinoschisis involving the inner layer of the retina. Posterior staphylomas are strongly associated with outer retinoschisis, whereas the inner retinoschisis is strongly associated with inward tractional lesions. Foveal retinal detachment is a complication of the outer retinoschisis, and a high risk for developing the full thickness macular hole with retinal detachment.
