³M.D. Asistant, Sisli Training and Research Hospital, Eye Clinic, Istanbul/TURKEY To describe the optical coherence tomography (OCT)and fundus autoflourescence (FAF) properties of Torpedo maculopathy in a 10 year old boy with a complaint of recently developed oddness in his vision. Fundoscopy revealed hypopigmented lesion of the temporal macula in the right eye. Spectral domain OCT showed an abnormally thin retinal pigment epithelium, and relatively thickened retinal layers overlying this area. Choroidal transmission was increased. FAF image revealed isofluorescence of the lesion except for hyperautofluorescent border at the nasal side and hypofluorescent temporal margin . His visual acuity was 10/10 in both eyes (Snellen) with an auto-refraction (under cycloplegia) of +0.50, +0.50 axis 95 in the right eye, +0.75, +0.25 axis 90 in the left eye. Automated perimetry revealed no defect in the visual field defect. He was followed for three months with stable clinical findings.
