Table 1 Summary of patients’ clinical characteristics
From: A physical sign of pathological myopia: myopic scleral pit
Case No | Sex | Age (years) | Eye | Axial length (mm) | BCVA (logMAR) | OCT | Pit Size (PD) | Location | Myopia-related fundus changes | Case resource |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1 | M | 62 | L | 35.15 | 0.4 | Hyperintense reflects were seen below the neurosensory retina, with an unknown correlation to the RPE. There was no neurosensory retinal detachment or neurosensory defect | 1 | Below macula lutea | LF, CRA, PC, CNV, PS, MC | This study |
2 | F | 54 | R | 28.56 | 0.2 | The pit was approximately 776 μm × 457 μm × 330 μm in size. There was no neurosensory retinal detachment or neurosensory defect | 1/3 | Below macula lutea | LF, CRA, PC, CNV, PS, MC, RLD | |
3 | F | 57 | L | 30.10 | 1.7 | The neurosensory retina and RPE became thinner. No retinal neuroepithelium detachment and loss were found. The depression depth was 1518 μm | 1 | Nasal inferior macula lutea | LF, CRA, PC, CNV, PS, MC, RLD | |
4 | F | 66 | R | 32.29 | 2.3 | ERM resulted in retinal traction. Retinal and choroidal tissue defects and thinning. The pit was 584 μm in depth and 1283 μm in width | 2/3 | Below macula lutea | LF, CRA, PC, CNV, PS, MC, RLD, LDL | |
5 | M | 57 | L | 31.83 | 2.3 | The neurosensory retina in the pit became thinner, and the closer it was to the center of the depressed area, the thinner it was, but there was no detachment or loss of retinal neuroepithelium | 1 | Nasal inferior macula lutea | LF, CRA, PC, CNV, PS, MC, LDL, ERM | |
6 | F | 56 | R | 31.73 | 0.7 | The fovea was thickened and raised, pulled by the anterior membrane, with a thickness of 300 μm. Cystoid edema could be observed. Choroidal atrophy, thinning and even missing. The depth of the scleral depression was greater than 1325 μm | 2/3 | Below macula lutea | LF, CRA, PC, PS, MC, ERM | |
7 | F | 57 | R | 33.10 | 0.4 | The anterior retina, retinoschisis, partial loss of retinal pigment epithelium, and posterior scleral staphyloma were found in the macular region and posterior pole of the retina, while the retina, choroid, and sclera at the pit were thin. The depth of the scleral pit was 958 μm | 1/2 | Below macula lutea | LF, CRA, PC, PS, MC, ERM, R | |
8 | M | 70 | R | 29.10 | 1.7 | The posterior pole of retina was thinned with irregular RPE. The choroid was atrophied and thinned with a significant depression. The depth of the depression was 407 μm | 1/3 | Below macula lutea | LF, CRA, PC, PS, MC, RLD, LDL | |
9 | F | 73 | R | 32.00 | 1.1 | Pits with a sudden change of scleral curvature from the surrounding area were observed. The hyperreflective scleral tissue was observed at the bottom of the pit. The neural retina was observed on the hyperreflective scleral tissue at the bottom of the pit, and it seemed to be continuous from the retina around the pit. The depth of these three pits from their openings was 584 μm, 715 μm, and 444 μm | / | Macular region/ Nasal inferior macula/ Superior temporal macular | / | Case of Ohno-Matsui et al |
10 | F | 57 | L | / | 1.5 | Loss of retina, RPE, choroid, and sclera could be observed. The pit was inferior to the fovea with 902 μm in depth and 397 μm in width | 1/5 | Below macula lutea | / | Case of Vadivelu J et al |
