Definición

  • A vitreoretinal dystrophy characterized by splitting of the neuroretinal layers. It occurs in two forms: degenerative retinoschisis and X chromosome-linked juvenile retinoschisis. Splitting of the RETINA into two layers at the level of the outer plexiform layer, beginning as a cystic degeneration in the extreme retinal periphery. It usually occurs after 40 years of age and is generally not progressive. X chromosome recessive disorder, found nearly exclusively in males and becoming apparent around puberty. Characterized initially by a cystlike structure involving the FOVEA CENTRALIS, a peripheral retinoschisis occurs in about half the patients.
