Purpose: To report the magnetic resonance appearance of hypotonus maculopathy.
Design: Observational case report.
Methods: A 48-year-old man with a long history of glaucoma and subsequent trabeculectomy in the right eye developed hypotonus maculopathy. Visual acuity continued to decrease in both eyes of a relatively young individual with severe primary open angle glaucoma. A magnetic resonance image was requested to look for a compressive optic neuropathy.
Results: Magnetic resonance imaging showed an abnormal plaquelike thickening of the macula and flattening of the posterior globe.
Conclusion: To our knowledge, this is the first case report of the magnetic resonance appearance of hypotonus maculopathy.
