| Popis: | Purpose To present a case of atypical solar maculopathy. Methods Case report. Results A 7-year-old boy who viewed an eclipse 17 months earlier had macular findings blending features of solar and laser pointer maculopathies. The right macula clinically had a central 1,000-μm, slightly irregular round area of pigmentary changes and a tiny outer macular optical coherence tomography defect. In addition, the superior fovea had a hyperreflective mound-like retinal pigment epithelial detachment extending into the outer retina. The left macula contained several, more typical solar maculopathy lesions. Conclusion We describe a unique case of solar maculopathy displaying typical optical coherence tomography findings in both eyes along with a unilateral laser pointer-like hyperreflective retinal pigment epithelial detachment. |
