Intraschisis cavity fluid composition in congenital X-linked retinoschisis.

Purpose: To describe the intraschisis cavity protein composition in congenital X-linked retinoschisis (CXLRS) from two eyes of one child.

Methods: The authors present a child with complex, Type 3 CXLRS who underwent bilateral surgical repair with autologous plasmin enzyme-assisted lens-sparing vitrectomy. Undiluted samples of intraschisis fluid and vitreous fluid from two eyes (one child) were obtained and used for protein analysis.

Posterior hyaloid contracture in pediatric vitreoretinopathies.

Background: Retinal detachment in pediatric vasoproliferative disorders such as retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) and familial exudative vitreoretinopathy (FEVR) have an exudative and tractional component. Younger eyes have an especially adherent posterior hyaloid. Contraction of the posterior hyaloid interface may lead to tractional retinal detachment.

Spontaneous resolution of traumatic macular hole-related retinal detachment.

Purpose: To report a case of spontaneous resolution of traumatic macular hole-related retinal detachment.

Design: Observational case report.

Methods: Clinical examination and optical coherence tomographic (OCT) evaluation of a patient who experienced spontaneous resolution of a retinal detachment resulting from a traumatic macular hole.

Optical coherence tomography findings in stage 4A retinopathy of prematurity: a theory for visual variability.

Purpose: To report macular anatomic abnormalities in eyes with stage 4A retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) that may account for poor visual outcome despite an ophthalmoscopically normal-appearing posterior pole.

Design: Retrospective case series.

Participants: Nine patients (14 eyes).
