Isolated foveal hypoplasia without nystagmus.
We report the case of a 23-year-old healthy Caucasian male with isolated foveal hypoplasia without nystagmus. Clinical examination and spectral-domain optical coherence tomography demonstrated the bilateral absence of a foveal depression and the patient was diagnosed with isolated foveal hypoplasia. This is a rare condition which is probably under-diagnosed since it can exist without nystagmus and low vision.
