Ghost Maculopathy: An Artifact on Near-Infrared Reflectance and MultiColor Imaging Masquerading as Chorioretinal Pathology

Ghost maculopathy is the phenomenon of an imaging artifact appearing at the macula on near-infrared reflectance and MultiColor imaging that occurs predominantly in pseudophakic patients and may be mistaken for true chorioretinal pathology. Awareness of this artifact is prudent to avoid misinterpretation of clinical findings and possible unnecessary over-investigation.
