X-linked juvenile retinoschisis is a hereditary disorder which usually occurs in boys rather than in girls, who are rarely affected. First clinical manifestations usually appear during the first decade. It is responsible for variable severity and slowly progressive vision loss. This progression can be characterized by vitreous hemorrhages and recurrent retinal detachments. We report the case of a 17-year old patient with stellar bilateral microcistic macular rearrangement of the eye-ground, centered on the foveola, associated with peripheral schisis with retinal detachment and unilateral tearing of internal and external layers.

Introduction: Phosphoribosyl pyrophosphate synthetase 1 () is an X-linked gene critical for nucleotide metabolism. Pathogenic variants cause three overlapping phenotypes: Arts syndrome (severe neurological disease), Charcot-Marie-Tooth type 5 [CMTX5] (peripheral neuropathy), and non-syndromic sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL). Each may be associated with retinal dystrophy.

It typically affects adults but can also occur in adolescents and children, although it is less common. Numerous elements, including coagulopathy, have been documented in previous cases as potential etiological factors of IIH.

To describe the efficacy of belzutifan as a treatment for juxtapapillary retinal hemangioblastomas in patients with von Hippel-Lindau disease. A case and its findings were analyzed, and a systematic literature review was conducted using PubMed and Ovid MEDLINE. At a routine follow-up, a 63-year-old woman with a history of von Hippel-Lindau disease and slowly progressive bilateral juxtapapillary retinal hemangioblastomas presented with decreased visual acuity (VA) in the right eye resulting from significant lesion growth and an increase in central macular edema and exudate.
