We report 19 cases(38eyes)of congenital retinoschisis,whose genetic characteristics conform to x-linked recessive heredity.Maculare lesions were found in all cases and 42.1%(16/38)of involved eyes had peripheral retinschisis.In addition to the typical manifestations of multiple cystic appearance of the central vascular veil,we discovered some infrequent sighs,i.e.displaced macula,peripheral globular retinoschisis,solitary vasculare elevation,and retinoschisis area surrounded by the retinal vasculature.
