Abstract
X-linked retinoschisis is a disorder characterized by the presence of foveal schisis and often peripheral splitting of the retina in the nerve fiber layer. The accompanying complications include vitreous hemorrhage and retinal detachment, which can lead to blindness. In this report five patients who presented during infancy or early childhood had nasal retinal dragging.
