Area of Science:

Ophthalmology
Medical Genetics

Background:

Benign yellow dot maculopathy is a recently identified retinal condition.
It typically presents with a dominant or sporadic inheritance pattern.

Observation:

A 25-year-old male presented with incidentally discovered yellow dots in his right macula.
Multimodal imaging confirmed the diagnosis.

Findings:

This case represents the first documented instance of benign yellow dot maculopathy manifesting unilaterally.
The characteristic features of this phenotype were observed exclusively in one eye.

Implications:

This unique presentation broadens the clinical spectrum of benign yellow dot maculopathy.
It highlights the importance of considering unilateral involvement in diagnosing this condition.
