Hypotonic maculopathy is a pathology characterized by the development of coriorhetanian folds in the posterior pole in patients with low intraocular pressure (usually less than 5mmHg). Fundus abnormalities also include papilledema and vascular tortuosity.
It usually occurs after anti-glaucoma surgery or when perforating eye injuries are sustained. Young age, myopia, primary filtering surgery, systemic illnesses and elevated preoperative intraocular pressure have been found to be associated with hypotonic maculopathy.
