ABSTRACT
Resumo Relato de caso de um paciente de 46 anos com glaucoma juvenil de controle clínico insatisfatório, portador de retinosquise peripapilar que, após ser submetido à esclerectomia profunda não penetrante, evoluiu com descolamento seroso da retina neuro-sensorial. A associação entre retinosquise peripapilar e o descolamento seroso pós cirurgia filtrante é de ocorrência rara, tendo sido descrito apenas um caso na literatura. A partir deste relato temos por objetivo, além de enfatizar a raridade da associação, mostrar a importância de investigar retinosquise peripapilar em pacientes glaucomatosos, em especial se associada a camada de fibras nervosas, e a importância da explanação adequada aos pacientes de um possível descolamento seroso de retina no pós-operatório de cirurgia filtrante.
Abstract Case report of a 46-year-old patient with unsatisfactory clinical controlled juvenile glaucoma and peripapillary retinoschisis who, after being submitted to non-penetrating deep sclerectomy, evolved with serous detachment of the neurosensory retina. The association between peripapillary retinoschisis and serous detachment after filtering surgery is rare and only one case has been described in the literature. The purpose of this report is, besides to emphasize the rarity of the association, to show the importance of investigating peripapillary retinoschisis in glaucomatous patients, especially if associated with retinal nerve fiber layer, and the importance of adequate explanation to patients of possible serous detachment of retina in the postoperative of filtering surgery.

Abstract Congenital retinoschisis is an X-linked recessive inherited disease. It causes the splitting of the retina's neurosensory layers from the remaining of the sensory retina, presenting itself as a "stellate" or "bicycle-wheel" maculopathy, vitreous hemorrhage and retinal detachment. We report three cases of congenital retinoschisis, two of them brothers. optical coherence tomography was used when evaluating the cases. It was impossible to differentiate retinoschisis from retinal detachment in one of the cases through optical coherence tomography due to lack of patient collaboration. We then performed laser photocoagulation to mark and follow-up the affected area.
Resumo A retinosquise congênita é uma doença autossômica recessiva ligada ao X. Resulta em separação da camada de fibras nervosas do restante da retina sensorial, e manifesta-se como maculopatia estriada, hemorragias vítreas e descolamento de retina. Relatamos três casos de retinosquise congênita, sendo dois deles irmãos. Utilizou-se a tomografia de coerência óptica na avaliação dos casos. Em um, não foi possível efetuar o diagnóstico diferencial com descolamento de retina através da tomografia de coerência óptica, devido a não cooperação no exame, optando-se pela realização de fotocoagulação com laser para demarcação e seguimento da área.

The authors report two cases of X-linked juvenile retinoschisis (XLRS) manifested as bilateral vitreous hemorrhage as early as in an 1-month-old infant and in a 3-month-old infant. The one-month-old male infant showed massive bilateral vitreous hemorrhage. During vitrectomy, thin membrane representing an inner part of schisis cavity was excised and intraschisis hemorrhage was evacuated. As intraschisis cavities were cleared, the stump of inner layer appeared as the demarcation line between the outer layer of the schisis retina and non-schisis retina. The other three-month-old male infant presenting with esodeviation also showed bilateral vitreous hemorrhage. Typical bilateral retinoschisis involving maculae could be seen through vitreous hemorrhage in both eyes on fundus examination. Spontaneous absorption of hemorrhage was observed on regular follow-up. XLRS could be manifested as massive hemorrhage inside or outside of the schisis cavity early in infancy.
