Swept-Source Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography Findings in Torpedo Maculopathy

2017 
: Torpedo maculopathy is a rare congenital anomaly of the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE). Various imaging modalities have been used to assess cases of torpedo maculopathy, including optical coherence tomography (OCT) and fundus autofluorescence (FAF). OCT angiography (OCTA) offers combined structural and flow characteristics of imaged lesions. The authors present OCTA findings in two cases of torpedo maculopathy. Common features include loss of RPE and choriocapillaris allowing greater visualization of larger vessels in the outer choroid. This confirms the potential of OCTA to provide greater detail of retinal and choroidal architecture and elucidate the histopathology of retino-choridal lesions.
