ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
To report the morphological and clinical features of a case of myopic macular degeneration with large choroidal excavation.METHODS:
A myopic patient underwent multimodal imaging, including optical coherence tomography and fluorescein angiography, over a 8-year follow-up.RESULTS:
A choroidal excavation was found in left eye, superior to the fovea. The excavation started as a focal choroidal excavation (FCE) and got deeper and larger during the 8-years-long follow-up, thus resulting in a large choroidal excavation (LCE).CONCLUSIONS:
LCE may be the evolution of FCE in highly myopic eyes, further studies are needed to describe the natural history of choroidal excavations in degenerative myopia.Palabras clave
