Case series: Complete ophthalmological examination including optical coherence tomography (OCT), fl uorescein angiography (FA) in one case and fundus autofl uoresecence (FAF) were evaluated.
Results: All patients had ovoid, well-defi ned lesion located temporal to the fovea that was noticed incidentally during routine eye examination. OCT revealed attenuation of retinal layers to varying degrees and subretinal cavitation in some cases. Fluorescein angiography and FAF showed different pattern of fl uorescence.
Conclusion: In this article, torpedo maculopathy cases with different clinical and imaging fi ndings were presented.
