A combination of topical and systemic carbonic anhydrase in the treatment of chromosome X-linked retinoschisis

Abstract Case report A 17-year-old male patient, who since 2000, has referred to a progressive bilateral decrease in visual acuity. A “bicycle wheel” macula pattern was observed in his retina. The electroretinogram showed a decrease in the b-wave amplitude. The visual evoked potentials were normal....

Summary:Abstract Case report A 17-year-old male patient, who since 2000, has referred to a progressive bilateral decrease in visual acuity. A “bicycle wheel” macula pattern was observed in his retina. The electroretinogram showed a decrease in the b-wave amplitude. The visual evoked potentials were normal. Optical coherence tomography showed bilateral macular edema. All this supported the diagnosis of X -linked retinoschisis. Discussion Genetic counseling was given and the pattern of X -linked inheritance was explained. A significant improvement of the macular thickness was observed after treatment with topical dorzolamide and oral acetazolamide.
