| Popis: | Case reports The cases concern a 4 year-old boy and 25 year-old female with 20/20 visual acuity, who presented with a unilateral non-pigmented macular lesion, temporal to the fovea, a torpedo shaped defect in the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE). Optical coherence tomography showed attenuation of the RPE signal, and in the second patient there proved to be a neurosensory detachment, RPE atrophy, and thinning of the retinal layers. The lesion was hypoautofluorescent and hyperfluorescent on fluorescein angiography. Discussion Torpedo maculopathy is an asymptomatic characteristic lesion which should be considered in the differential diagnosis of macular lesions in children and young patients. |
