Abstract: We present a case of adult-onset foveomacularvitelliform dystrophy (AFMVD) in a 71-year-old woman. Fundus examination revealed geographic atrophy within the macula. Fundus autofluorescence (FAF) imaging showed clearly defined hypofluorescent lesions corresponding to the atrophic lesion. Near-infrared FAF (NIR-FAF) imaging showed central hyperfluorescent lesions corresponding to the hypofluorescent dark area examined by FAF. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) revealed overall thinning of the neurosensory retina with disruption of the photoreceptor inner segment/outer segment interface. Retinal changes were more easily defined on OCT and FAF images than on color photographs. OCT and FAF images were useful in a patient with AFMVD.
