Introduction: Goldmann Favre Syndrome (GFS) is a vitreoretinal degenerative disease with macular retinoschisis. The current treatment of foveoschisis is topical and oral carbonic anhydrase inhibitors.Case: A 22-year-old male diagnosed with GFS presented a progressive decrease in vision of the right eye. The optical coherence tomography showed a significant macular schisis. A medical treatment with topical and oral carbonic anhydrase inhibitors was ineffective. We performed a pars plana vitrectomy and silicone oil placement which led to an improvement of the visual acuity and a reduction of the foveoschisis.Conclusion: We describe here the first case of surgical treatment for macular schisis in a patient with GFS.
