PURPOSE: To report the rubeosis iridis and neovascular glaucoma findings in one patient of X-linked juvenile retinoschisis (XLRS). METHODS: Color fundus photography, fluorescein angiography (FFA) , OCT and B-scan were performed in a patient with X-linked juvenile retinoschisis complicated with neovascular glaucoma. RESULT: Color fundus photography, fluorescein angiography (FFA), OCT and B-scan unveiled a rare condition of XLRS complicated with neovascular glaucoma. CONCLUSION: XLRS may complicate with neovascular glaucoma. It is necessary to test OCT, FFA, ERG and carefully examine the fundus of the follow eye when it comes to uncertain neovascular glaucoma of youth and child. And only in this way, we can exclude XLRS.
