title: Unilateral giant peripapillary drusen and retinal drusenoid deposits in a case of X-linked retinoschisis.
abstract: A 25-year-old man with X-linked retinoschisis presented with multiple giant optic nerve head drusen and multiple retinal drusenoid deposits in one eye. There was an area of coarse pigmentation in the lower half of the retina, with convex upper borders extending on either side of the optic disc, suggestive of a spontaneously resolved retinal detachment. The possible aetiopathogenesis of such occurrence is discussed.
