Pediatric Vitreoretinal Surgery

Abstract

Congenital X-linked retinoschisis is a common degenerative retinopathy characterized by bilateral mild to severe visual loss in males with splitting of retinal layers. Onset of the disease is usually during the first decade of life. The most common type is the complex type, and it is also the type in which complications are most common. Visual acuity remains stable in most of the patients however it may deteriorate during the first and second decades of life because of the sight-threatening complications like vitreous hemorrhage, rhegmatogenous retinal detachment, tractional retinal detachment, bullous retinoschisis involving the macula in some of the cases. These complications should be managed appropriately with advanced vitreoretinal surgical techniques. This chapter aimed to cover all aspects of the disease and provide information on the management of complications requiring surgery.
