Spontaneous closure of macular hole in a patient with x-linked juvenile retinoschisis.
OBJECTIVE
To observe macular hole in a patient with juvenile retinoschisis.


METHODS
A 4-year-old boy with X-linked juvenile retinoschisis was examined and followed-up for 2 years. Optical coherence tomography was used to study his maculae.


CONCLUSIONS
A full-thickness macular hole was detected by clinical examination and optical coherence tomography. Spontaneous closure of the macular hole was noticed and confirmed by optical coherence tomography 2 years later with visual improvement. Macular hole in patients with juvenile retinoschisis should be observed for at least a short period of time before a surgical repair is considered.
