Abstract
X‑linked retinoschisis (XLR) is an uncommon bilateral
vitreoretinal dystrophy characterized by typical foveoschisis in
all patients that may be associated with peripheral retinoschisis.
A young male with XLR with retinal detachment in his right
eye underwent 23 gauge pars plana vitrectomy with silicone oil
tamponade. Postoperatively, best‑corrected visual acuity (BCVA)
improved to 20/120 with an attached retina. Spectral‑domain
optical coherence tomography showed macular thinning with the
collapse of the schitic cavities with silicone oil in situ. Following
silicone oil removal at 6 months follow‑up, the retina remained
attached with a BCVA of 20/80 however the foveal schitic
cavities reappeared. This unusual course has not been described
previously.
