Purpose:
To report the optical coherence tomography findings of a 5-year-old boy with familial foveal retinoschisis.
Design:
Observational case report.
Methods:
Optical coherence tomography findings in familial foveal retinoschisis was evaluated.
Results:
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.
Conclusion:
Optical coherence tomography findings in familial foveal retinoschisis in early childhood may help us to understand the early stages of pathology.
