Bilateral macular holes in X-linked retinoschisis: now the spectrum is wider

Indian J Ophthalmol. 2011 Nov-Dec;59(6):507-9. doi: 10.4103/0301-4738.86326.

Abstract

Bilateral occurrence of macular hole in X-linked retinoschisis is an extremely rare event. Spectral domain optical coherence tomography (OCT) findings revealed that formation of a macular hole is secondary to the retinoschisis process alone. Bilateral macular holes should be added to the spectrum of X-linked retinoschisis variations and the retinoschisis process alone should be accounted for their formation.
