Purpose:
To report three new retinal findings in a patient with cherubism.
Participant:
An 18-year-old male patient.
Methods:
Clinical examination and retinal scanning with spectral domain optical coherence tomography.
Results:
The spectral domain optical coherence tomography revealed inner retinal striae in the posterior pole of both eyes and a subfoveal vitelliform deposit in the left eye. There was an inferior retinoschisis in the left eye.
Conclusions:
The inner retinal striae, subretinal vitelliform deposit, and retinoschisis extend the scale of retinal findings associated with orbital (facial) cherubism.
