Optical coherence tomography and congenital retinoschisis: three case reports

Abstract Congenital retinoschisis is an X-linked recessive inherited disease. It causes the splitting of the retina’s neurosensory layers from the remaining of the sensory retina, presenting itself as a “stellate” or “bicycle-wheel” maculopathy, vitreous hemorrhage and retinal detachment. We report three cases of congenital retinoschisis, two of them brothers. optical coherence tomography was used when evaluating the cases. It was impossible to differentiate retinoschisis from retinal detachment in one of the cases through optical coherence tomography due to lack of patient collaboration. We then performed laser photocoagulation to mark and follow-up the affected area.
