Familial foveal retinoschisis associated with a rod-cone dystrophy.

A brother and sister born of a consanguinous marriage had bilateral foveal retinoschisis and a generalized rod-cone dysfunction. This was associated with nyctalopia, hyperopia, minimal vitreous opacities in the sister, a paramacular tapetal sheen reflex, normal retinal vessels, an abnormal electroretinogram, and a normal electro-oculogram in the less affected brother. Foveal retinoschisis is not pathognomonic for x-chromosome-linked juvenile retinoschisis. It may be seen as a manifestation of a macular dystrophy or associated with a generalized tapetoretinal dystrophy.

Photocoagulation in the diagnosis of senile retinoschisis.

In five of seven patients treated with argon laser photocoagulation, lesions were placed around retinal breaks and in the center of the breaks directly on exposed pigment epithelium. In a sixth patient, the lesions were placed through an area of atrophic detached retina on the bare pigment epithelium. In the last patient, the lesions were placed in the center of a large outer wall hole in an area of senile retinoschisis directly on bare pigment epithelium. The white reaction to photocoagulation, previously thought to differentiate between retinoschisis and retinal detachment, was produced in the eye with a rhegmatogenous retinal detachment. The white reaction also was produced in the center of retinal breaks where the photoreceptor layer was not in contact with the retinal pigment epithelium. Photocoagulation was not a definitive test, and must be evaluated with other clinical findings.

[Clinical and electroophthalmologic findings in x-chromosomal juvenile retinoschisis].

The wide range of clinical manifestations in x-linked retinoschisis can cause misinterpretations. Careful electroophthalmologic evaluation is a valuable acid, especially in patients without peripheral retinoschisis. The b-wave amplitudes of the electroretinogram are reduced and the oscillatory potentials are non-recordable. In the electro-oculogram the amplitudes of the slow oscillations are impaired.

[Surgical treatment of retinoschisis (author's transl)].

We have made a review of 20 retinoschisis without retinal detachment operated on 12 patients. There is no case of hereditary retinoschisis, the affection may occur at any age, and there is no preferential refractive error. Main surgical indications were macular involvement or impending involvement, and associated retinal tears. A good anatomical result has been obtained in 90% of our cases (18 out of 20) with 2/3 complete reattachments and 1/3 almost complete reattachments (with minimal and well sealed residual schisis). Association of cryocoagulation and indentation is more effective than cryocoagulation alone. On the functional point of view we have had 15% of improved visual acuities and 30% of worsened ones, thus surgical intervention implies macular risks that one must try to prevent by using procedures as atraumatic as possible.

[Sex-linked juvenile retinoschisis].

About 13 observations of sexe linked juvenile retinoschisis, the authors describe the ophthalmoscopic, fluorographic and functional aspects of the disease whose caracteristics are:--its sexe linked recessive heredity; --its clinical characterestics associating: a microcystic macular degeneration, peripheral retinal lesions, vitreous body alterations, --an electroretinogram of the negative type.
