Torpedo maculopathy is a rare congenital anomaly of the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE). Various imaging modalities have been used to assess cases of torpedo maculopathy, including optical coherence tomography (OCT) and fundus autofluorescence (FAF). OCT angiography (OCTA) offers combined structural and flow characteristics of imaged lesions. The authors present OCTA findings in two cases of torpedo maculopathy. Common features include loss of RPE and choriocapillaris allowing greater visualization of larger vessels in the outer choroid. This confirms the potential of OCTA to provide greater detail of retinal and choroidal architecture and elucidate the histopathology of retino-choridal lesions.

鱼雷样黄斑病变是一种罕见的视网膜色素上皮（RPE）先天性异常。多种成像方式已被用于评估鱼雷样黄斑病变病例，包括光学相干断层扫描（OCT）和眼底自发荧光（FAF）。OCT血管造影（OCTA）提供了成像病变的结构和血流特征。作者展示了两例鱼雷样黄斑病变的OCTA检查结果。常见特征包括RPE和脉络膜毛细血管缺失，使得能更清晰地看到脉络膜外层的较大血管。这证实了OCTA在提供视网膜和脉络膜结构更详细信息以及阐明视网膜 - 脉络膜病变组织病理学方面的潜力。[《眼科手术、激光与视网膜成像》。2017年；48:932 - 935。]
