Abstract
X-linked retinoschisis (XLRS) has been associated with retinal vascular abnormalities, but retinal vasoproliferative tumor (RVPT) has been rarely reported in this context. We describe the case of a 12-month-old boy presenting with esotropia of his left eye due to extensive exudation secondary to RVPT. Right eye examination revealed macular and bullous peripheral retinoschisis. Combining laser photocoagulation and intravitreal injections of anti-vascular endothelial growth factor allowed control of the exudative process at 12 months follow-up. RVPT could be the first sign of XLRS.
