Purpose: To report and document a case of torpedo maculopathy found in a patient affected by keratoconus.Case report: An healthy 16-year-old male patient, affected by keratoconus in both eyes, was referred to the cornea service of our hospital for a follow-up visit.During the dilated fundus examination of the left eye, an oval, well-demarcated, hypopigmented lesion was observed in the juxtafoveal temporal region, pointing towards the center of the macula. Multimodal imaging of the lesion was performed, and the diagnosis of Torpedo Maculopathy was established based on the clinical picture.
Conclusion: This is the first case of torpedo maculopathy described in a patient affected by keratoconus. This association may be merely fortuitous or the result of developmental abnormalities affecting both corneal and retinal structures.

To present a pediatric patient with a unique configuration of torpedo maculopathy complicated by macular choroidal neovascularization (CNV). A single case was retrospectively reviewed. An 8-year-old male child presented with decreased vision in the left eye and was found to have 2 distinct torpedo maculopathy lesions, 1 a smaller hypopigmented lesion in the temporal parafovea and the other a larger hyperpigmented comet-shaped lesion in the temporal periphery.

Background: Torpedo maculopathy (TM) is a rare, congenital condition characterized by an oval-shaped, chorioretinal lesion in the temporal macula of unknown etiology. To our knowledge, the longest reported follow-up of TM is 5 years. Herein we report 10 years of follow-up on two patients with TM to further characterize the long-term natural history of the condition.

Purpose: To report a rare type III torpedo maculopathy lesion with a unique manifestation of subretinal fluid.
Observations: A nine-year-old patient was referred to retina for an evaluation of a hypopigmented oval-shaped lesion in the temporal macula with an area of inferior subretinal fluid in the right eye. The lesion demonstrated inner and outer retinal and retinal pigment epithelial attenuation, intraretinal and subretinal fluid, a serous neurosensory retinal detachment, and inner choroidal excavation on optical coherence tomography.
