Clinical and optic coherence tomography findings of focal choroidal excavation in Chinese patients.

ABSTRACT:

Background

To describe the clinical and optical coherence tomography (OCT) features of focal choroidal excavation in Chinese patients.

Methods

Retrospectively, thirty-seven eyes (in 31 patients) that demonstrated focal choroidal excavation on spectral-domain OCT were collected. Their clinical characteristics and other features were also collected and analyzed.

Results

In total, 42 focal choroidal excavations were identified in 31 patients, including 25 unilateral and 6 bilateral (37 eyes). The abnormal changes in these eyes with choroidal excavation were more prominent at the outer part of the neuro-retina, the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) and the choroid. The average transverse diameter and depth of the excavations were 670.8 μm and 106.9 μm, respectively. In add
