Abstract

Fovea plana is the absence of foveal pit with continuity of inner retinal layers in the fovea. Isolated fovea plana, lack of foveal pit without any associated ocular disorder, is less common; and it illustrates that the absence of a foveal pit does not necessarily result in a poor visual outcome. We hereby present optical co- herence tomography (OCT) findings of two cases with isolated fovea plana, a father and his son, with a corrected visual acu- ity of 10/10 and without any ocular disorder besides refraction problems. Lack of prominent foveal refl ex is encountered during routine ophthalmological examination of a 44-year-old male pa- tient. OCT imaging revealed bilateral lack of foveal pit with in- tact inner retinal layers across the fovea without thinning. After family screening, we also encountered isolated fovea plana on his 16-year-old son. These two cases draw attention to the patients without prominent foveal refl ex may have fovea plana, even if they have good visual acuity; and family screening is essential for revealing other cases in the family.

Özet

Foveada tüm iç retina tabakalarının devamlılığı ile birlikte fo- vea çukurluğunun olmaması fovea plana olarak adlandırılmıştır. Nadiren eşlik eden bir hastalık olmaksızın da görülebilir (izole fovea plana) ve bu durum foveal çukurluk yokluğunun her zaman kötü görsel prognoz ile ilişkilendirilemeyeceğini gösterir. Bu olgu sunumunda düzeltilmiş görme keskinliği 10/10 olan, kırma ku- suru dışında başka bir göz hastalığı olmayan ve izole fovea plana izlenen baba oğul iki olgunun optik koherens tomografi (OKT) bulguları sunulmuştur. Rutin göz muayenesi sırasında belirgin fovea refl esi alınamayan 44 yaşındaki erkek hastanın yapılan OKT incelemesinde fovea çukurluğunun olmadığı ve iç retina katlarının foveada devamlılık gösterdiği tespit edildi. Bu olgu- nun ailesi tarandığında, 16 yaşındaki erkek çocuğunda da fovea plana olduğu izlendi. Bu olgular, belirgin fovea refl esi olmayan kişilerde, görme keskinliği iyi bile olsa, fovea plana olabileceğin- den şüphelenilmesinin ve ailedeki diğer bireylerin de araştırıl- masının gerekliliğini ortaya koymaktadır.
