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, […]
