Résumé
This study demonstrates the importance of routine multimodal imaging for the diagnosis of choroidal neovascular membrane secondary to torpedo maculopathy. A 63-year-old woman with a history of torpedo maculopathy presented with recent-onset symptoms of visual distortion in the right eye. Multimodal imaging modalities revealed the presence of a choroidal neovascular membrane. The choroidal neovascular membrane was treated, and the patient was subsequently followed up to monitor the retinal appearance over time. Significant structural restoration of the macular anatomy with overall functional improvement was seen. Although torpedo maculopathy is often a benign diagnosis, complications such as choroidal neovascular membrane can occur. Choroidal neovascular membrane formation is well documented in younger patients with torpedo maculopathy; however, we present a rare case of choroidal neovascular membrane in an elderly individual. Multimodal imaging proved instrumental in the early detection and management of this infrequently reported complication.
