X-Linked Juvenille Retinoschisis - Peripheral Retinal Hemorrhage - Foveal Retinoschisis
|
|
This pleasant 8-year-old child was seen in the office on March 8, 2012. He was examined for glasses and dilated examination showed retinal abnormalities.
VISUAL ACUITY: OD 20/40, OS 20/50. IOP: 12 OU. His lenses are clear.
EXTENDED OPHTHALMOSCOPY:
OD: Vertical C/D ratio is 0.2. There are foveal cysts. There is also a retinal elevation inferiorly and there are patchy peripheral retinal hemorrhages.
OS: Vertical C/D ratio is 0.2. There are foveal cysts. There is peripheral retinal issues with some hemorrhage in some areas of peripheral retinoschisis.
SPECTRALIS-SD-OCT SCAN: The OCT scan does show foveal retinoschisis in both eyes. The average thickness of the macula in the right eye being 420 microns and the cysts appear to be forming predominately in the inner nuclear and inner plexiform layer. In the left eye the OCT scan shows an average central foveal thickness of 414 microns and the cysts in that eye are forming mostly in the inner plexiform inner nuclear layer. The peripheral line scans also show peripheral retinoschisis in both eyes outside the macula. It is a little bit closer in the right eye where the hemorrhage is and you can see vitreoretinal traction at the edge of the schisis cavity. (NOTE: Retinal thickness measured with Spectralis OCT is approximately 70 μm greater than that measured with Stratus OCT. This increased measurement corresponds to the inclusion of the outer segment-RPE-Bruch's membrane complex by Spectralis OCT.)
IMPRESSION:
1. X-LINKED JUVENILE RETINOSCHISIS – BOTH EYES
2. VITREOUS HEMORRHAGE – RIGHT EYE
DISCUSSION: I explained to the patient and the family that he does have X-linked juvenile retinoschisis, which can cause bleeding in the periphery, but rarely causes retinal detachment. It does generally compromise the central vision some, but most patients maintain reasonably good vision. If there is a fair amount of intraretinal or subretinal fluid sometimes carbonic anhydrase inhibitors help. Generally we have been using topical ones lately rather than systemic, because of the side affects.
There is microplasmin that will hopefully be approved within the next years or two for use, because of vitreoretinal traction and if the studies support it, it may be worthwhile in a few years considering that in patients with excellent retinoschisis. He will return here for a check in about a year or two.
