Distinguishing torpedo maculopathy from similar lesions of the posterior segment

Victor M Villegas et al. Ophthalmic Surg Lasers Imaging Retina. 2014 May-Jun.

Abstract

Torpedo maculopathy is a congenital solitary, oval-shaped lesion typically located temporal to the center of the macula. Congenital hypertrophy of the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE), RPE lesions of Gardner syndrome, and other lesions can present with similar characteristics. Because of its unique clinical and imaging features, torpedo maculopathy generally can be differentiated from other posterior segment lesions.
