Torpedo-like lesions in the ocular fundi of Gardner syndrome: hiding in plain view

Conclusions: We therefore recommend that individuals with classic isolated torpedoes undergo evaluations for mutations in the Gardner gene (Adenomatous polyposis coli) and for the presence of gastrointestinal polyps and other systemic features of Gardner syndrome. We also suggest that apparently normal individuals, who are genetically related to patients with known classic torpedoes, undergo inspection of their fundi for the possible presence of characteristic lesions.PMID:34014136 | DOI:10.1080/13816810.2021.1925930
