Posterior staphylomas and scleral curvature in highly myopic children and adolescents investigated by ultra-widefield optical coherence tomography
Fig 2
Images of highly myopic eyes with peripapillary diffuse atrophy but without a posterior staphyloma.
(A) Fundus photograph of the left eye of a 9-year-old boy with an axial length of 28.4 mm showing marked tessellation as well as peripapillary diffuse chorioretinal atrophy (PDCA) temporal to the optic disc. (B) Horizontal WF-OCT image shows a marked thinning of the choroid (arrowheads) in the area of the PDCA. The transition of surrounding choroid to almost absent choroid in the area of the PDCA is sudden. However, the inner scleral curvature is smooth and no posterior dislocation is seen. (C) Right fundus photograph of an 8-year-old boy with an axial length of 26.0 mm showing peripapillary diffuse atrophy temporal to the optic disc. (D) Horizontal WF-OCT image showing a marked thinning of the choroid (arrowhead) in the area of the PDCA. The transition of the surrounding choroid to almost absent choroid in the area of the PDCA is sudden. However, the inner scleral curvature is a smooth arc and no posterior dislocation is seen.
