posted on 2020-10-12, 15:34 authored by Sohaib R Rufai, Helena Lee, Irene GottlobWe present handheld optical coherence tomography (OCT) diagnosis of Grade 4 foveal hypoplasia (fovea plana) in a 28-day-old infant with albinism. Grade 4 foveal hypoplasia is characterized by the absence of the foveal pit, absence of outer segment lengthening, and absence of outer nuclear layer widening. Binocular visual acuity at 58 months follow-up was 1.2 logarithm of the minimal angle of resolution (logMAR). We describe our handheld OCT acquisition protocol and compare the morphological features with a healthy, age-matched control subject.
