Septo-optic dysplasia associated with abnormal foveal development.
OBJECTIVE
To report a case of abnormal foveal development in a patient with septo-optic dysplasia.


METHODS
Observational case report, consisting of clinical examination, fluorescein angiography, and optical coherence tomographic (OCT) evaluation of a patient who presented with septo-optic dysplasia.


RESULTS
A 3-month-old girl with septo-optic dysplasia was found to have bilateral foveal schisis by OCT and absence of foveal avascular zone by fluorescein angiography.


CONCLUSIONS
Abnormal foveal development can be seen in patients with septo-optic dysplasia. Both foveal schisis and absence of foveal avascular zone may contribute to visual outcome. Detailed macular evaluation is recommended in patients who present with optic nerve hypoplasia.
