Table 1. Management of myopic foveoschisis.
| Authors | Size of study (eyes) | Techniques used | Results | Complications |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Kuriyama et al30 | 261 | Macular and equatorial buckling, internal tamponade±vitrectomy | The final success rates were the same (95%), regardless of which approach was selected as an initial technique | No known complications |
| Kobayashi and Kishi32 | 9 | Vitrectomy surgery on all eyes (6 received gas tamponade, 3 did not) | Foveal detachment and retinoschisis gradually decreased in height in 8 eyes, and visual improvement within 6 months postoperatively | No known complications |
| Ikuno et al31 | 6 | Vitrectomy with ILM peeling and gas tamponade | The foveal detachment resolved completely in 5 eyes. BCVA improved more than two lines in all eyes (100%) | No known complications |
| Kwok et al33 | 9 | Vitrectomy (without ILM peeling) and gas tamponade | Median BCVA improved from 20/80 to 20/50. Complete resolution of MF with complete foveal reattachment in 77.8% with partial resolution in 22.2% | Retinal detachment without macular involvement (1 eye). Visually significant cataract 18 months post surgery (1 eye) |
| Gaucher et al16 | 11 | Vitrectomy (without ILM or gas tamponade) | Foveal reattachment was achieved in 4/11 eyes | No known complications |
| Baba et al11 | 5 | Scleral buckling with a macular plombe | The mean retinal thickness was reduced significantly. BCVA was improved by 2 lines or more in 66% | Subretinal haemorrhage—2 eyes |
| Sayanagi et al36 | 2 | Vitrectomy with ILM peel and gas tamponade | Successful foveal reattachment in both eyes | No known complications |
| Ikuno et al4 | 40 | Vitrectomy with ILM peeling and gas tamponade | The foveal detachment resolved completely in 5 eyes and partially in 1 eye | No known complications |
| Kumagai et al37 | 39 | Vitrectomy with ILM peeling and gas tamponade | 70% of patients had improved acuity and all patients had resolution of foveal detachment | No known complications |
| Ji et al38 | 20 | Posterior buckling | Different degrees of reduction in the split cavity between inner and outer retinal layers | No known complications |
| Lim et al45 | 15 | Vitrectomy with ILM peeling without gas tamponade | Postoperatively all eyes achieved foveal reattachment within 6 months and 74% (11/15 eyes) had visual improvement | No known complications |
| Mateo et al39 | 16 | Vitrectomy with macular buckle | Improvement in VA in 87.5% | Progression of MF—1 eye |
| Ikuno et al4 | 8 | Vitrectomy and ILM peeling with gas tamponade | MHs closed 25%. Postoperative BCVA was significantly correlated with the preoperative BCVA (P<0.05) | MH size increased significantly in a case with an unresolved MH |
| Kim et al42 | 17 | All vitrectomy and ILM peeling; 9 with and 8 without gas tamponade | MF resolved in 88.9% of the gas-treated group and 75.0% of the no-gas group. Difference between groups was statistically insignificant | MH formation—2 eyes |
| Ho et al43 | 8 | Victrectomy and ILM | Successful reattachment in 8 eyes (100%) | No known complications |
