Abstract• Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to describe the technique and application of relief of vitreous traction and inner wall retinectomy in the management of juvenile retinoschisis (JRS). In addition, during the course of this study a previously undescribed form of tractional retinal detachment associated with retinal schisis was observed. • Methods: Six eyes of four children with visual field and/or central vision loss underwent vitrectomy (in five of the six eyes the lenses were preserved), inner wall retinectomy and photocoagulation for rhegmatogenous/schisis retinal detachment, tractional retinal detachment and reduced central vision secondary to intraschisis hemorrhage overhanging the macula. • Results: The children were followed up for 1 to 4 years. All eyes showed anatomic reattachment. Three of the four eyes that could be tested for vision showed improved visual function postoperatively. One eye showed marked enlargement of visual field and central visual acuity improvement from 20/200 preoperatively to 20/50 postoperatively. • Conclusion: Inner wall retinectomy can be a useful adjunct in the management of the retinal complication of JRS. Appropriate case selection of eyes with associated central traction retinal detachment can result in improved visual field and central visual acuity. The success of this technique suggests that the mechanical and/or pharmacological relief of vitreous traction may be able to alter the clinical course of JRS.
