RETINOSCHISIS

Below is a picture of a patient with a retinoschisis with an outer layer break in the retina.  The lower arrow points to the break and the higher arrow points to the edge of the schisis.  A schisis is a separation of the retina from itself.  The edge of the schisis is usually smooth and in a circular pattern as shown here.

ACUTE ZONAL OCCULT OUTER RETINOPATHY (AZOOR)

AZOOR is a rare retinal inflammatory disorder that can occur in young myopic females.  Often it occurs in only one eye.  It effects most often the temporal retina and spares the macula.  It results in the type of scarring that you see below.  This patient was myopic with normal central visual acuity.
