Multicolor imaging findings in torpedo maculopathy

Indian J Ophthalmol. 2019 Feb;67(2):295-297. doi: 10.4103/ijo.IJO_1317_18.

Abstract

We describe the multicolor imaging findings in two cases of Torpedo maculopathy (TM). Multicolor imaging can be a useful tool in identifying the level of retinal and choroidal layer involvement in TM. This imaging modality further confirms the hypothesis that TM is a localized congenital abnormality of retinal pigment epithelium pigmentation which leads to outer retinal and inner choroidal degeneration.

Keywords: Green reflectance; infrared reflectance; multicolor; torpedo maculopathy.
