AB  - Purpose. To investigate peripapillary retinoschisis and its effect on retinal 
      nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness measurements by using spectral-domain optical 
      coherence tomography (SD-OCT) in glaucomatous eyes. Methods. Circumpapillary RNFL 
      (cpRNFL) B-scan images of 940 glaucoma patients (Group 1) and 801 
      glaucoma-suspect patients (Group 2) obtained by SD-OCT were reviewed. The 
      structural and clinical characteristics of the retinoschisis were investigated. 
      The RNFL thickness measurements taken at the time of retinoschisis diagnosis and 
      at the follow-up visits were also compared. Results. Twenty-nine retinoschisis 
      areas were found in 26 of the 940 glaucoma patients (3.1%) in Group 1 and seven 
      areas were found in 801 patients (0.87%) in Group 2. In glaucomatous eyes, the 
      retinoschisis was attached to the optic disc and overlapped with the RNFL defect. 
      At the time of retinoschisis, the RNFL thickness was statistically greater in the 
      inferior temporal quadrant when compared with the follow-up scans (p < 0.001). No 
      macular involvement or retinal detachment was observed. Conclusion. The present 
      study investigated 33 peripapillary retinoschisis patients. Increase in RNFL 
      thickness measurements was observed at the time of retinoschisis. It is important 
      to examine the cpRNFL B-scan images of glaucoma patients so that the RNFL 
      thickness is not overestimated.
