title: Congenital hypertrophy of the retinal pigment epithelium: choroidal cavitation demonstrated on spectral-domain OCT.
abstract: A patient with solitary congenital hypertrophy of the retinal pigment epithelium demonstrated a striking choroidal cavitation on spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (OCT). Although photoreceptor atrophy overlying congenital hypertrophy of the retinal pigment epithelium has been described on time-domain OCT, this patient manifested a previously unrecognized tomographic feature.
