“…In particular, KC has been documented in individuals with Leber congenital amaurosis, 12 retinitis pigmentosa, 13 and retinopathy of prematurity, 14 all of which are diseases associated with the Franceschetti-Leber phenomenon. This distinctive sign, also referred to as the oculo-digital phenomenon, involves the vigorous rubbing of the eyes by children with blindness or low vision, as an attempt to induce visual perception by applying pressure on the eyeball, presumably generating phosphenes.…”

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.
