Juvenile retinoschisis is a congenital X-linked recessive retinal disorder. Patients may develop nystagmus, decreased central vision, or strabismus. Fundus findings vary considerably, from the absence of a foveal reflex to the presence of a large, elevated schisis cavity involving the fovea. The protean finding is a foveal schisis. Histologically, the peripheral retinoschisis is found in the nerve fiber layer. However, on review of recent literature, it is not clear where the foveal split occurs. The progression of juvenile retinoschisis is associated with changes in the fovea and underlying retinal pigment epithelium.¹ Additional information may be gleaned from fluorescein angiography, electroretinography, or genetic studies.

Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a recent advance in retinal imaging; the techniques of this modality are described elsewhere.² Few case reports describe OCT imaging of this disease.² We demonstrate the use of OCT to highlight unique foveal findings in a patient with juvenile retinoschisis.
