Myopia Case 1 Tiled Background

Retinography (Clarus 700, Zeiss): visualization of the large choroidal vessels in the macula and in the periphery 360º in both eyes

OCT (Cirrus 5000-HD, Zeiss): significant thinning of the stromal choroid in both eyes. No tractional or neovascular component is observed in the context of the patient's pathological myopia.

Description

43-year-old woman who attends regular check-ups.

AV OD 20/25 with -18.50.

AV OI 20/25 with -19.00.

A very tessellated fundus is observed in both eyes, as well as a small peripapillary staphyloma in the right eye. No other macular or peripheral alterations are observed, either in the retinography or in the OCT.

Comments

Fundus tessellation consists of the visualization of the large choroidal vessels due to a thinning of the choroid. It represents the first phase of chorioretinal atrophy in severely myopic patients (stage A1 of the ATN classification), although it does not necessarily progress to forms of diffuse, patchy chorioretinal atrophy or complete macular atrophy.
