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. Note: Figures 1 and 2 are reprinted from Peripapillary Intrachoroidal Cavitation. Adèle Ehongo et al. ‘J. Clin. Med. 2023, 12, 4712’ Originally published by and used with permission from MDPI.
