Unusual presentation of early-onset X-linked retinoschisis: Report after 1  year of multimodal follow-up.

CONCLUSION: X-linked retinoschisis is a well-known inherited retinal disease potentially affecting young children as early as 3 months old. In this case, the stunning presentation (diffuse retinal pigment epithelium dystrophic changes resembling a macular dystrophy) and the positive course of the disease (resolution of macular retinal detachment in the left eye and stability of schisis in the right eye) arise some interesting considerations about the necessity of an early surgical treatment.
