Abstract

Juvenile glaucoma and retinoschisis are rare diseases alone. They occur bilaterally with early onset, resulting in severe visual loss. Juvenile glaucoma is mainly described in males, with high intraocular pressure, and juvenile retinoschisis is characterized by the formation of retinal cysts. This case reports a 16-year-old male patient with progressive visual loss that presents an association of both pathologies, which is an uncommon and severe involvement. After adequate diagnosis and drug treatment, the condition improved and did not require surgical intervention. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
