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.

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.
