PURPOSE: To describe the clinical presentation and imaging findings of a patient with isolated foveal hypoplasia. CASE REPORT: A 16-year-old teenager presented to our clinic with mild to moderate visual impairment since early childhood. Lack of foveal depression was noted on both clinical examination and optical coherence tomography, and absence of the foveal avascular zone was demonstrated on fluorescein angiography. His ocular examination was otherwise unremarkable. CONCLUSIONS: Isolated foveal hypoplasia should be considered in the differential diagnosis of early-onset bilateral visual impairment, especially when the foveal reflexes seem absent.
