Abstract EN
The purpose of this report is to describe a case of bilateral foveal hypoplasia in the absence of other ophthalmological or systemic manifestations.
We characterize the case of a 9-year-old Caucasian male who underwent full ophthalmologic examination, including functional measures of vision and structural measurements of the eye.
Best corrected visual acuity was 0.50 logMAR in the right eye and 0.40 logMAR in the left eye.
Ophthalmoscopy revealed a lack of foveal reflex that was further investigated.
Optical coherence tomography (OCT) confirmed the absence of foveal depression (pit).
OCT images demonstrated the abnormal structure of retina in a region in which we expected a fovea; these findings were decisive to determine the cause of reduced acuity in the child.
