Abstract

Purpose: To describe the case of an asymptomatic 6-year-old girl, who was found to have bilateral dome-shaped macula, associated with left serous macular detachment and left optic disc pit, and no evidence of posterior staphyloma in either eye, and to review the literature regarding dome-shaped macula in children and compare our patient's findings with similar case reports. Observations: Our patient presented with bilateral dome-shaped macula and several other accompanying features, already described in previous reports in children her age. Conclusions and importance: Dome-shaped macula is a relatively new entity, which has been mainly described in highly myopic adults. Since its description, an increasing number of studies have been published to help characterise this condition and to elucidate its nature, causes, epidemiology and associated findings. Although the majority of the available data relate to adults, there are a number of studies that describe dome-shaped macula in children and adolescents. In this paper, we discuss the association of dome-shaped macula in children with posterior staphyloma, myopia, and suggest a possible developmental aetiology for this entity.
