AB  - Purpose. To report clinical aspects, tomographic, angiographic, and 
      autofluorescence patterns of two cases of isolated foveal hypoplasia. Methods. 
      Foveal hypoplasia was found in a 23-year-old male patient and in a 64-year-old 
      woman with impaired visual acuity of unknown etiology that remained unchanged for 
      years. Results. In the first case, spectral-domain optical coherence tomography 
      (SD-OCT) showed reduced foveal pit and continuity of inner retinal layers in the 
      fovea. Photoreceptor layer had a normal thickness centrally. The foveal avascular 
      zone (FAZ) was absent in the flourescein angiogram (FA). Fundus autofluorescence 
      showed reduced foveal attenuation of autofluorescence. In the second patient, 
      there was the same pattern in SD-OCT, with normal aspect in FA and only a 
      slightly reduced foveal attenuation of autofluorescence. Conclusion. OCT, as a 
      noninvasive and quick method, is helpful in the diagnosis of foveal hypoplasia. 
      FA and fundus autofluorescence were less sensitive.
