A 43-year-old man with a known history of macular telangiectasia type II presented with acute onset of a scalloped-shaped scotoma, which he described as “seeing a seashell” in his right eye. Ophthalmoscopy revealed intraretinal and subretinal macular hemorrhage, and fluorescein angiography demonstrated perifoveal leakage consistent with subretinal neovascularization. The scalloped nature of the blood was due to its accumulation within the Henle layer, as confirmed by optical coherence tomography.
