Exudative retinal detachment in X-linked retinoschisis OPHTHALMIC SURGERY AND LASERS Fong, D. S., Frederick, A. R., Blumenkranz, M. S., Walton, D. S. 1998; 29 (4): 332-335

Abstract

X-linked retinoschisis is a vitreoretinal dystrophy characterized by foveal and peripheral retinoschisis in the nerve fiber layer. Although many associated peripheral retinal findings have been reported, few reports have described massive exudative retinal detachments in patients with X-linked retinoschisis. The authors report the unusual occurrence of Coats'-like exudative retinopathy in two patients with X-linked retinoschisis. Both patients had peripheral massive exudative retinal detachments.
