a, b Fundus photographs of both eyes showing a slightly diffuse depigmentation in the midperiphery and a pinkish optic disk with clear margins and a mild macular dystrophy at the posterior pole. c, d OCT images of both eyes showing the absence of normal macular depression and high reflectivity across the fovea.

Furthermore, the high reflectivity across the fovea suggested a persisting nerve fiber layer and multiple inner retinal layers across the fovea (fig. 1).

The clinical pattern of foveal hypoplasia revealed by OCT was instead similar to that observed in albinism, even if the patient featured normal pigmentation of the skin, hair and iris (fig. 2) and did not show typical ocular albinism signs such as nystagmus and iris transillumination.
