A 24-year-old woman presented for routine clinical evaluation. Her best-corrected visual acuity was 20/20 and slit-lamp examination of the anterior segment was normal in both eyes. Fundus examination of the left eye revealed a hypopigmented lesion, one disc diameter temporal to the fovea, with a hyperpigmented tail extending temporally from the main lesion, consistent with a torpedo maculopathy. Fundus autofluorescence showed an hypoautofluorescence with hyperautofluorescent border. Swept-source optical coherence tomography (OCT) showed a normal inner retina and a degeneration of the outer retina without retinal cavitation. OCT angiography (OCT-A) of the choriocapillaris layer revealed reverse shadowing caused by the increased transmission from the atrophied outer retina and RPE within the torpedo lesion and attenuation of signal in the area of the temporal hyperpigmentation. The superficial capillary plexus was normal. This case includes a multimodal imaging with OCT-A of torpedo maculopathy in a Tunisian woman. Further reports are required to provide a better understanding of this rare condition.
