Zusammenfassung

Eine 64-jährige Patientin klagte über eine beidseitige Sehverschlechterung. Der Fovealreflex war beidseits auffällig, und die optische Kohärenztomographie (OCT) zeigte eine fehlende foveale Depression. Nach Ausschluss möglicher Erkrankungen wurde eine beidseitige Foveahypoplasie diagnostiziert. Diese seltene Veränderung der Fovea sollte nicht mit dem Foveaödem verwechselt werden. Zudem ist zum Ausschluss einer Fehlinterpretation ein Volumenscan mit engem Raster empfehlenswert.

Abstract

A 64-year-old female patient complained of a bilateral reduction in vision. The foveal reflex was remarkable bilaterally and optical coherence tomography (OCT) demonstrated the absence of a foveal depression. After exclusion of possible diseases foveal hypoplasia was diagnosed. This rare alteration of the fovea should not be mistaken for foveal edema. A volume scan with a narrow grid is advisable to avoid a misinterpretation.
