A 36-year-old male presented with progressive diminution of vision in both eyes since childhood. On fundus examination, radiating striae with stellate cystoid changes at the macula giving the characteristic spoke-wheel appearance along with inferotemporal peripheral retinoschisis was present bilaterally [Figure 1]a and [Figure 1]b. Optical coherence tomography showed presence of intraretinal schitic cysts localized in the outer plexiform and inner nuclear layers [Figure 1]c and [Figure 1]d.{Figure 1}

X-linked retinoschisis is characterized by formation of microcystic cavities and cell-to-cell adhesion loss leading to formation of schisis not only at the macula but also in peripheral retina.[1] About 49% of cases also have peripheral retinal schisis.[2]
