A 16-year-old asymptomatic woman had a corrected visual acuity of 20/30 OS and 20/20
OD. The anterior segment of the left eye was unremarkable, whereas the fundus showed
a well-demarcated flat perifoveal lesion with variegated pigmentation and scalloped
margins (Fig. 1A) that was hypo/autofluorescent with a hyper/autofluorescent rim (B) with reverse
pattern on fluorescein angiography—a hyperfluorescent centre with a hypofluorescent
rim (C). Swept-source optical coherence tomography revealed retinal pigment epithelium
loss with hypertransmission (black arrowhead) adjacent to a region of increased retinal
pigment epithelium reflectivity and thickening (blue arrowhead, D). The right eye
was essentially normal. A diagnosis of unilateral perifoveal retinal pigment epithelium
dysgenesis was made, and the patient was followed up.
