Optical coherence tomography findings in familial foveal retinoschisis.

Abstract

To report the optical coherence tomography findings of a 5-year-old boy with familial foveal retinoschisis. Observational case report. Optical coherence tomography findings in familial foveal retinoschisis was evaluated. Optical coherence tomography findings demonstrated a wide hyporeflective space that split the neurosensory retina into a thin faintly reflective outer layer and a thicker more reflective inner retinal layer. Anteroposterior or oblique linear columns were seen across this hyporeflective space and formed a bridge between the outer and inner retinal layers. Cleavage planes were outer plexiform layer and adjacent nuclear layers. Optical coherence tomography findings in familial foveal retinoschisis in early childhood may help us to understand the early stages of pathology.
