X-linked juvenile retinoschisis is a progressive bilateral disease that is probably present at birth and has been documented as early as 7 weeks of age.¹ It was first reported by Haas in 1898² and has recently become better understood as a mutation of the XLRS1 gene on the short arm of the X chromosome (Xp22).³ This mutation results in an abnormal retinal protein that participates in intercellular spaces.³ Cystoid changes arranged in a stellate pattern with radial striae projecting from the fovea are seen in all patients, along with a peripheral schisis in 50% of cases, and variable findings are well described by Gass⁴ and others. In this study, we used optical coherence tomography (OCT) (Stratus OCT; Carl Zeiss Meditec AG, Jena, Germany) to examine the foveal areas in 2 patients with juvenile retinoschisis. Our OCT findings suggest that the foveal schisis is probably located in the outer plexiform layer, . . . [Full Text of this Article]
