The treatment of ACG patients with ARB is a major challenge for all ophthalmologists.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Case presentation<\/jats:title><jats:p>A 12-year-old female child was diagnosed with ARB and ACG and presented with discrete, round, yellow\u2013white deposits of variable sizes scattered in the retina, retinoschisis in the macular, shallow anterior chamber depth and angle closure with uncontrolled intraocular pressure (IOP). Micropulse transscleral cyclophotocoagulation (MP-TCP) successfully deepened anterior chamber, lowered IOP and resolved retinoschisis. However, the postoperative deepening of the anterior chamber began to regress 12\u202fdays after surgery and stabilized 142\u202fdays after surgery, the retinoschisis reoccurred 67\u202fdays after surgery.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>This case revealed that changes in vitreous condition may play an important role in the formation of retinoschisis. MP-TCP, which induces vitreous compression and increases osmotic pressure on the retina, could be used to treat young ACG patients with ARB to avoid other complicated surgeries and vision-threatening postoperative complications. However, the theory needs to be confirmed by further studies.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.3389\/fmed.2025.1567964","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,8,8]],"date-time":"2025-08-08T05:28:01Z","timestamp":1754630881000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Micropulse
