| Abstrakt: | Purpose: To present a pediatric patient with a unique configuration of torpedo maculopathy complicated by macular choroidal neovascularization (CNV). Methods: A single case was retrospectively reviewed. Results: An 8-year-old male child presented with decreased vision in the left eye and was found to have 2 distinct torpedo maculopathy lesions, 1 a smaller hypopigmented lesion in the temporal parafovea and the other a larger hyperpigmented comet-shaped lesion in the temporal periphery. Multimodal imaging showed active CNV. The patient received 2 intravitreal injections of ranibizumab with regression of CNV and recovery of visual acuity. Conclusions: CNV is a rare complication of torpedo maculopathy that can affect pediatric patients in the absence of choroidal excavation. The presence of a hyperpigmented peripheral lesion exhibiting symmetry across the horizontal raphe lends support to the hypothesis that an alteration in the development and migration of retinal pigment epithelium cells across the fetal bulge results in this disorder.
