Right eye of a 66-year-old woman with pathological myopia and dislocation of the lens (Case 4). A Fundus photograph: Severe retinal and choroidal atrophy with sclera exposure was seen in the posterior pole. Myopia conus was observed in the temporal side of the optic disc. Large-area degeneration and focal involvement were detected around the whole retina. Below the macular area, there was a well-defined oval depression with a size of about two-thirds PD. Lateral branches of retinal vessels at the bottom of the depression. B OCT: The pit was 584 μm in depth and 1283 μm in width. Hyperintense reflects were seen below the neurosensory retina, with an unknown correlation to the retinal pigment epithelium. A macular epiretinal membrane was formed, resulting in retinal traction. Some retinal and choroidal tissue defects with thin choroidal and posterior scleral staphyloma. The central retinal thickness was 76 μm
