Reports a case of torpedo maculopathy detected through imaging in an 18-year-old male, highlighting its stability.
An 18-year-old male was discovered with an oval, 1PD-sized, well-defined lesion on the inferonasal fovea of the right eye. Multimodal imaging was carried out. The lesion was diagnosed as torpedo maculopathy (TM). Most TM patients have no visual symptoms, are often detected during routine examination, and are generally stable.
