title: Optical coherence tomography findings in familial foveal retinoschisis.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To report the optical coherence tomography findings of a 5-year-old boy with familial foveal retinoschisis.
  
  
  METHODS
  Observational case report.
  
  
  METHODS
  Optical coherence tomography findings in familial foveal retinoschisis was evaluated.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Optical coherence tomography findings demonstrated a wide hyporeflective space that split the neurosensory retina into a thin faintly reflective outer layer and a thicker more reflective inner retinal layer. Anteroposterior or oblique linear columns were seen across this hyporeflective space and formed a bridge between the outer and inner retinal layers. Cleavage planes were outer plexiform layer and adjacent nuclear layers.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Optical coherence tomography findings in familial foveal retinoschisis in early childhood may help us to understand the early stages of pathology.
