PURPOSE: To report optical coherence tomography (OCT) changes in Best's vitelliform macular dystrophy (BVMD) with pseudohypopyon. DESIGN: Observational case report. METHODS: Both eyes of a patient with BVMD showing pseudohypopyon were examined with OCT. RESULTS: OCT demonstrated the presence of serous retinal elevation with normal appearing retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) superiorly, and broadening of the outer-retina-choroid-complex signal under retinal elevation, inferiorly. CONCLUSIONS: OCT findings in our study suggest the accumulation of material under neurosensory retina in BVMD with pseudohypopyon.
