Spectral-Domain Optical Coherence Tomographic Characteristics of Autosomal Recessive Isolated Foveal Hypoplasia
Foveal hypoplasia, also referred to as foveal planum, is a congential condition that can be associated with other ocular abnormalities such as aniridia, albinism, microphthalmos, and achromatopsia. 1 Isolated foveal hypoplasia (IFH) is an even rarer disorder, with similar clinical findings in the fovea. The characteristic findings of patients with IFH are nystagmus, poor visual acuity, absent or abnormal maculofoveal reflexes on ophthalmoscopy, and variable and incomplete filtering of the choroidal fluorescence in the macular area on fluorescein angiography. No single hereditary pattern has been established for patients with IFH. Reported cases include patients with autosomal dominant and autosomal recessive ...
