    Description
    Patient, 12 years old, routine, 20/20 vision in both eyes. A surprise in the fundoscopy of the left eye: a hypopigmented area in the shape of a torpedo inferior temporal to the macula, pointing towards the fovea with a hyperpigmented tail, and another similar lesion inferior to the first without a hypopigmented area. An OCT was performed, showing choroidal cavitation. We continue to follow up, after 3 years the condition remains stable, without the development of neovascularization.
