Concurrent Foveoschisis and Atrophy in a Patient With X-Linked Retinoschisis and Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus

We report the case of a 28-year-old man with X-linked retinoschisis (XLRS) and type I diabetes mellitus. The patient had bilateral foveoschisis with a tractional retinal fold in the right eye. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) revealed hyperreflective material within the inner nuclear and outer ple...

Zusammenfassung:We report the case of a 28-year-old man with X-linked retinoschisis (XLRS) and type I diabetes mellitus. The patient had bilateral foveoschisis with a tractional retinal fold in the right eye. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) revealed hyperreflective material within the inner nuclear and outer plexiform layers, photoreceptor atrophy, and retinal pigment epithelium irregularities in both eyes. Fluorescein angiography showed hyperfluorescent foveal spots corresponding to the hyperreflective material observed on OCT. This is a unique presentation of XLRS, with concurrent foveoschisis and photoreceptor atrophy in both eyes. The hyperreflective material on OCT serves as a distinctive feature of XLRS.
