Figure 1. Peripapillary intrachoroidal cavitation (PICC) with a full-thickness defect within the myopic conus. (A). Fundus image showing a circumscribed yellow-orange lesion (black star) at the outer and inferior border of the myopic conus, corresponding to a peripapillary intrachoroidal cavitation. A full-thickness defect (red star) is located within the myopic conus. (B) Section along the green arrow of the infrared image, through the full-thickness defect (red star). The remnant of nerve fibers (yellow arrow) herniate into the PICC cavity. ONH = optic nerve head. Note: Reprinted from Peripapillary Intrachoroidal Cavitation. Adèle Ehongo et al. ‘J. Clin. Med. 2023, 12, 4712’ Originally published by and used with permission from MDPI.

Peripapillary intrachoroidal cavitation and myopic peripapillary changes

Peripapillary intrachoroidal cavitation and myopic peripapillary changes: Optical Coherence Tomography analysis.
Figure 1. Landmarks of the peripapillary intrachoroidal cavitation (PICC). LC = lamina cribrosa. BM = Bruch’s membrane (dashed red arrow). SF = scleral flange, the sclera between the dura and the pia mater. D = dura mater. PICC (red star) is in front of the subarachnoid space (yellow star). It is a suprachoroidal detachment. It is suggested to be promoted by a direct traction force (blue arrow) of the dura mater during eye movements. A tangential component of this traction force squeezes the choroid at the end of the posterior outpouching (red arrowheads). The device used is the Spectral Domain OCT Spectralis® HRA-OCT, model S3300 (Heidelberg Engineering GmbH, Heidelberg Germany). Note: Reprinted from Peripapillary Intrachoroidal Cavitation.

Understanding the link between PICC and myopic complications

Dr Adèle Ehongo discusses the pathogenesis of peripapillary intra-choroidal cavitation and its implications for myopic complications.
Figure 1. photo of a peripapillary intrachoroidal cavitation. The crescent-shaped atrophic area (red star), at the border of the optic nerve head (black star), called myopic conus, is alone in (A). It presents a circumscribed, yellow-orange lesion (white star) at its outer border in (B), corresponding to the peripapillary intrachoroidal cavitation.
