Abstract: We are reporting a case of torpedo maculopathy (TM) over a long term follow up with the aid of multimodal imagingof Optical coherence tomography (OCT), Fundus Autofluorescence, En Face OCT, and recent OCT angiography (OCTA)findings. An asymptomatic 18 years old female was clinically found to be having a whitish spindle shaped lesion in theright eye with classic findings of TM. OCT imaging at baseline and at 2 and 4 years follow up did not reveal any changein the retinal structures. A focal excavation of the choroid along with a small subretinal cleft was also seen. Fundusautofluorescence imaging exhibits a central hypofluorescence along with a hyperfluorescent border corresponding tothe lesion. OCTA segmentation of the choriocapillaris vasculature showed increased density of the choroidalvasculature suggestive of its role in the pathogenesis of this lesion. Enigma behind the pathogenesis of this rare lesionis still unsolved. Recently introduced imaging techniques can help us understand this lesion and its pathogenesis indetail.
