A 3-year-old pediatric case of torpedo maculopathy associated with a serous retinal detachment

Purpose: To report an atypical retinal finding of torpedo maculopathy in a three-year-old boy Method: A retrospective case report Results: Optical Coherence Tomography examination of the retinal lesion showed a hyper-reflectivity of the outer layers associated with a Serous Retinal Detachment (SRD) with an extension of the outer segments of the photoreceptors. Furthermore, the external limiting membrane and the retinal pigment epithelium are intact. Although the reflectance of the ellipsoid zone appears diminished, no disruptions were observed, suggesting that the ellipsoid zone is likely undamaged. Conclusion: This maculopathy is predominantly associated with a SRD, rather than the tissue atrophy typically described in types 1, 2, 3, and 4. This association has already been described but is not included in current classifications. We propose to potentially add a”with SRF” stage to the current classifications.
