Optical coherence tomography analyses based segmentation and relative intensity evaluation of outer retinal layers in patients affected with X-linked juvenile retinoschisis.

CONCLUSION: Data suggested that both anatomic and functional characteristic of outer macula hyperreflective bands were notably associated with the pathogenesis cascade in the photoreceptor cells. External limiting membrane line disruption is initiated by the volume of macular edema and followed by disorganization of the three lines in a stepwise pattern, first at the ellipsoid zone, followed by the cone outer segment tips zone and finally at the External limiting membrane.
