Abstract

Foveal hypoplasia is described as the lack of foveal depression with continuity of all neurosensory retinal layers in the presumed foveal area. In this paper, two case with foveal hypoplasia were presented. At the multiple retinal scans obtained from foveal areas of two cases, it was observed that foveal pits were not present and that the iner retinal layers which there were not normally in fovea were continued in fovea as extrafoveal region in optical coherence tomography. Optical coherence tomography is useful examination method for the detection of foveal hypoplasia for suspected cases.
