Unspecified retinoschisis, bilateral

Retinoschisis means splitting of the eye's retina into two layers. There are two forms of this disorder. The most common is an acquired form that affects both men and women. It usually occurs in middle age or beyond, although it can occur earlier, and it is sometimes known as senile retinoschisis.

H33: Retinal detachments and breaks.

2024 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code H33. 009: Unspecified retinal detachment with retinal break, unspecified eye.

Treatment and Drugs

There is no medical treatment for degenerative retinoschisis; however, vitrectomy surgery is occasionally required for complications related to either type of retinoschisis.

Nevertheless, if patients with retinoschisis notice new or increased flashes, floaters or a shadow in their vision, they should seek urgent attention just like anyone else. Retinoschisis very rarely causes any problems with vision and generally does not need to be followed up long term.

X-linked retinoschisis, with a prevalence of about 1 in 15,000 to 30,000, is one of the main causes of juvenile macular degeneration in males. It is characterized by symmetric bilateral macular involvement beginning in the first decade of life. It is caused by a large variety of mutations in the RS1 gene on Xp22.

1 Retinoschisis may sometimes be difficult to distinguish from full-thickness retinal detachment. Clinically, retinoschisis is more trans- parent, less mobile, has less surface wrinkling, and exhibits less underlying retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) atrophy than full-thickness retinal detachment.

ICD-10-CM R94. 111 is grouped within Diagnostic Related Group(s) (MS-DRG v41.0): 124 Other disorders of the eye with mcc or thrombolytic agent.

In this procedure, called vitrectomy (vih-TREK-tuh-me), the surgeon removes the vitreous along with any tissue that is tugging on the retina. Air, gas or silicone oil is then injected into the vitreous space to help flatten the retina.

When your retina has a tear or break, the gel-like fluid in the center of your eye (called vitreous) can get behind your retina. The vitreous then pushes your retina away from the back of your eye, causing it to detach.

2024 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code H33. 002: Unspecified retinal detachment with retinal break, left eye.

1 Retinoschisis may sometimes be difficult to distinguish from full-thickness retinal detachment. Clinically, retinoschisis is more trans- parent, less mobile, has less surface wrinkling, and exhibits less underlying retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) atrophy than full-thickness retinal detachment.

Retinoschisis can damage the macula, affecting central vision. Retinoschisis in the macula affects an essential part of the vision, which allows someone to see shapes and colors straight ahead of them. Problems with central vision can make it difficult to perform daily activities, such as reading or driving.

It may cause vision problems that get worse over time.
