Stellate Nonhereditary Idiopathic Foveomacular Retinoschisis in a Female Patient: Case Report and Brief Literature Review

Background

Stellate foveomacular retinoschisis (SFR) is often associated with RS1 gene defect-related congenital juvenile X-linked retinoschisis (CXLR). SFR can be found in almost all cases of CXLR, with a number of patients also developing peripheral retinoschisis. In view of its inheritance pattern, SFR is almost exclusively found bilaterally in male patients [1].
