X-Linked retinosquisis, a bilateral disorder in 98% of cases, occurs in males, and classically demonstrates a stellate maculopathy and peripheral retinal dehiscences in the nerve fiber layer. Onset is in first decade or may be present at birth.<\/p>\n

This disorder is mapped to the XRLS1\/retinoschisin, which that codes for proteins necessary for cell-cell adhesion.<\/p>\n

The OCT shows a microcystic-like change of the macula. The major vision-threatening complications at later ages of X-linked retinoschisis are rhegmatogenous retinal detachment and vitreous hemorrhage.<\/p>\n
