Retinal astrocytic hamartoma (RAH) was incidentally detected in an 18-year-old girl with retinitis pigmentosa. Yellowish multinodular lesion was seen in the right eye inferonasal to optic disk [Figure 1]a. On fundus autofluorescence, the lesion was hyper autofluorescent [Figure 1]b. Cross-sectional optical coherence tomography (OCT) showed “moth-eaten” hyporeflective spaces suggestive of type 3 RAH [Figure 1]c. En face OCT angiography showed absence of vascular signal [Figure 1]d. Electroretinogram of both the eyes showed reduced rod and cone response. This report demonstrates the rare association of RAH and retinitis pigmentosa, similar to the previous reports.[1],[2] | Figure 1: (a) Color photograph of the right eye showing arteriolar attenuation, bony spicule pigmentation, and yellowish multinodular lesion. (b) Fundus autofluorescence image of the right eye showing hyperfluorescent lesion. (c) Optical coherence tomography through the lesion showing hyporeflective spaces. (d) Enface OCT angiography showing absence of vascular signal within the lesion. OCT = optical coherence tomography
