In the behind group, PRS was mostly detected in the inner layers of the retina (retinal nerve fiber layer: 30.9%, ganglion cell layer: 21.8%, inner plexiform layer: 7.3%). However, in the ahead group, PRS was detected in the outer layers (inner nuclear layer: 10%, outer plexiform layer: 20%, outer nuclear layer: 50%). In addition, the eyes in the ahead group had significantly greater axial lengths and significantly smaller spherical equivalent values. These two differences suggest that the pulling force of the vitreous traction may play an important role in PRS only in the behind group and that the scleral stretching force may play a role in the development of PRS in the ahead group.Conclusion: The frequency of PRS in patients with POAG is higher than that in patients with suspected glaucoma. Both forms of PRS are affected by posterior vitreous detachment and axial length elongation. Careful follow-up is required to assess the development of PRS in glaucoma suspects. The pathogenesis of PRS has been elucidated to some degree by classifying the morphological condition of the PRS and BMO.Keywords: peripapillary retinoschisis, optical coherent tomography, glaucoma, myopiaNishijima ROgawa SNishijima EItoh YYoshikawa KNakano TDove Medical Pressarticleperipapillary retinoschisisoptical coherent tomographyglaucomamyopiaOphthalmologyRE1-994ENClinical Ophthalmology, Vol Volume 15, Pp 1293-1300 (2021)
