Article Synopsis
- Foveal hypoplasia is a retinal disorder where the foveal pit is absent, potentially leading to poor vision and linked with various medical conditions like albinism and congenital nystagmus.
- A study detailed a case of a five-year-old boy with bilateral poor vision since birth, diagnosed with foveal hypoplasia after an OCT scan confirmed the foveal pit's absence.
- The case is noteworthy due to the positive family history of similar conditions in male relatives, suggesting a possible X-linked recessive inheritance, with future genetic testing recommended for deeper understanding.
