OCT Angiographic Findings in Glucose-6-Phosphate Dehydrogenase Deficiency.

Fovea plana (FP) describes the abnormal absence of the foveal pit in the retina. It is a sign that is associated with prematurity, albinism, and other ophthalmic disorders. The authors present the optical coherence tomography angiographic findings in a case of a 19-year-old male with FP and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency. G6PD deficiency is a very common condition that typically presents with hemolytic anemia and jaundice. G6PD deficiency is also known to affect vision, but these pathologies have been less well-characterized. To the authors' knowledge, this is the first report of G6PD deficiency in FP.
