Bilateral congenital macular coloboma: Swept-source optical coherence tomography findings
Abstract:
A 15-year-old male presented with decreased vision and nystagmus from childhood. Best-corrected visual acuity was limited to 0,05/10 in both eyes. Fundus examination revealed a well-demarcated macular excavation of 2 discs diameter, baring of the underlying sclera, surrounded by a pigmented rim and hypopigmented retinal areas. Autofluorescence images showed a central hypoautofluorescent lesion with patchy hypoautofluorescent areas corresponding to retinal pigmented epithelium (RPE) and photoreceptor atrophy. Swept-source optical coherence tomography showed a crater-like depression with atrophy of the neurosensory retina and the absence of RPE and choroid except some large choroidal vessels. Anti-toxoplasma antibody was negative. These findings are suggestive of a congenital macular coloboma. Similar lesions have to be excluded such as toxoplasmosis macular scar and North Carolina dystrophy.
