“… 94 , 101 Geographic regions of hyperpigmentation within the central hypopigmented area are also possible. 103 The orientation of the lesion is horizontal with a comparatively sharper pointed “head” directed toward the center of the macula. 87 , 90 Two different variations have been described for the tail: rounded or frayed.…”

“…97 It is speculated that the outer retinal excavation in the type 2 variant is created by loss of photoreceptors and/or RPE. 87,103,105 However, thinning and disruption of the retinal layers is variable and may be due to the chronicity of the lesion or phenotypic differences. 104 The cavitation can be distinguished from the SRF found in other causes such as CSC by the absence of ragged photoreceptors.…”

“…97 Five of eight patients with a type 1 lesion were tested on a Humphrey field analyzer or microperimeter with only 1 patient demonstrating ascotoma. [100][101][102][103][104][105][106][107][108][109][110][111][112] All patients with type 2 lesions had documented scotomas. 96,101,113 The variability between visual field defect and lesion may be due to the size of the TM lesions falling beneath the detection sensitivity of Humphrey field testing.…”

The structure and functions of the choroid have been long acknowledged but the pathophysiology behind various anomalies has been difficult to understand until the advent of optical coherence tomography (OCT). With OCT imaging, choroidal cavitations appear as optically empty spaces between the outer retinal and choroidal layers with attenuation or loss of outer retinal layers. Choroidal cavitations are found in the posterior pole and seen in conditions such as pathologic myopia, north carolina macular dystrophy (NCMD), focal choroidal excavation (FCE), and torpedo maculopathy (TM). To date, these disorders have not been linked. A commonality they all share is malformation of the RPE-photoreceptor-choroid complex. The following report describes the differences and similarities of choroidal cavitation amongst the different retinal disorders and emphasizes the importance of multimodal imaging in the detection and management of potential complications.

With fewer than 100 peer-reviewed cases reported in the world to date, the underlying etiology of torpedo maculopathy has remained elusive. In this literature review, we provide new evidence to better support, reject and unify claims regarding cause, diagnosis, and proper clinical management of this disease. We reviewed 44 case reports and case series, which included 77 patients (after exclusions). We additionally introduced 3 new cases from our clinical practice for a total of 80 cases. Ages at presentation ranged from 6 months old to 73 years old (mean: 24.2 years old). The nasal aspects of torpedo maculopathy lesions pointed toward the optic disc and localized to a kite-shaped region of the temporal macula, correlating with the anatomic junction of the superior arcuate, inferior arcuate, and papillomacular bundles of retinal nerve fiber layer distribution. No patterns were observed among the temporal aspects of the lesions. These findings support a congenital etiology of torpedo maculopathy and a possible influence of the retinal nerve fiber layer in the development of mature retinal pigment epithelium.
