Fig. 3

Initial presentation 2005 shows a large RPE atrophy on color fundus with corresponding hypoautofluorescence on FAF. A window defect with evidence of pooling within the subretinal space is visible on FA without a definite evidence of a CNV. 2007: Follow up images 2007 reveal a central RPE defect, SRF and a preserved photoreceptor (PR) layer. Obvious shedding of the PR-outer segments is evident. 2009: The RPE defect has increased in size, the SRF has persisted despite anti-VEGF therapy. The PR are present. 2015 Increase of the RPE defect, the overlying PR are still present but the lengths are reduced. The OCT angiography of the choriocapillaries confirms the absence of a CNV
