Homonymous hemi-macular atrophy of the ganglion cell-inner plexiform layer with preserved visual function

Homonymous hemimacular thinning of the retinal ganglion cell-inner plexiform layer (GCIPL) on optical coherence tomography (OCT) in the absence of significant visual field defects may be identified in the workup of patients with visual complaints, but the causes of this finding remain unknown. We retrospectively reviewed 1425 consecutive patients referred for neuro-ophthalmic assessment who had high quality OCT scans and reliable Humphrey 24–2 SITA-Fast testing. A total of 7 patients, 3 females and 4 males, with a mean age of 39.4 ± 10.5 years that had homonymous thinning of the OCT macular-GCIPL without significant visual field defects were included in the study.
