Multimodal imaging in a case of bilateral astrocytic hamartoma with retinitis pigmentosa

Astrocytic hamartoma is a benign glial tumor. It may be associated with tuberous sclerosis and can also be found incidentally on retinal examination as an isolated presentation. Here, we describe multimodal imaging characteristics of astrocytic hamartoma in a patient with retinitis pigmentosa. Spectral domain optical coherence tomography of both eyes showed moth-eaten optically empty spaces and hyperreflective dots along with foveal thinning. Multicolor image highlighted mulberry appearance of the lesion with green shift signifying elevated lesion. In infrared reflectance, lesion was hyporeflective with its margins well delineated. Green reflectance and blue reflectance highlighted calcification as multiple hyperreflective dots. Autofluorescence showed typical hyperautofluorescence.
