Atypical Foveal Hypoplasia in Best Disease.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To determine the prevalence and characteristics of foveal hypoplasia (also called fovea plana) in patients with Best disease using spectral-domain (SD) optical coherence tomography (OCT) and OCT-angiography (OCT-A).

Design

A retrospective observational study including patients diagnosed with Best disease.

Subjects and participants

Fifty-nine eyes of thirty-two patients (fifteen females (46.9%) and seventeen males (53.1%), p = 0.9) diagnosed with Best disease were included. Patients' eyes were categorized into two groups: Eyes with a fovea plana appearance ('FP group') and eyes without fovea plana appearance ('no FP group'), based on the foveal appearance on B-scan SD-OCT.

Methods and main outcome measures

Cross-sectional OCT images were assessed
