Vertical optical coherence tomographic image (enhanced depth imaging). Vertical optical coherence tomographic image (enhanced depth imaging), showing a defect between the central end of Bruch’s membrane (vertical green arrow with red border) and the peripheral end of the border tissue of Elschnig and Jacoby (horizontal blue arrows with red border), allowing the herniation of retinal nerve fiber layer tissue (white arrows) into the suprachoroidal / supra-cerebrospinal fluid space cavitation; the cavitation is bordered by an elongated and thinned posterior sclera (green arrows); yellow arrow: contralateral end of Bruch’s membrane and marking the beginning of peripapillary gamma zone (Bruch’s membrane free, peripapillary zone)
