LINARES GUERRA, Marilyn et al. Juvenile retinoschisis and its visual rehabilitation. Rev Cubana Oftalmol [online]. 2011, vol.24, n.1, pp. 170-176. ISSN 0864-2176.

The retinoschisis is a vitreoretinal dystrophy characterized by the separation of the retina layers and the formation of intraretinal cysts, In juvenile retinoschisis are described ophthalmologic alterations distinguished of the acquired retinoschisis. The objective of present paper was to conduct a study to describe the clinical features of an atypical case of juvenile retinoschisis of a male patient aged 8 who came to consultation due to a decrease of vision and the possibility of optical help. At eye examination it was visualized a schisis at macular level and peripheral with edema ob both maculae. The electroretinogram showed a decrease in the b-wave amplitude. The tomography of optical coherence demonstrated the separation of the internal retina at level of the nervous fibers and the cystic macular edema. Treatment consisted of correction and optical help to the close vision. We conclude that it is a uncommon disease and at the same time, of a atypical case where are overlapped different signs directed towards the two clinical ways of the disease, but independently that appear characteristics of acquired retinoschisis in a young patient, the treatment of visual rehabilitation with optical help remains the more prescribed to achieve a great visual quality.
