[Congenital retinal detachment with predominant macular changes]

The authors call attention to the existence of incomplete forms of retinoschisis and some forms with predominant macular changes which may erroneously be treated as Stargard's disease. A correct diagnosis is essential because of the necessity of a systematic control of the fundus periphery. Discussed are the possibilities of prevention and treatment of complications such as haemorrhages and retinal detachment.
