Peripapillary intrachoroidal cavitation and biomechanical considerations: A multi-stage narrative

Peripapillary intrachoroidal cavitation and biomechanical considerations: A multi-stage narrative Dr Adèle Ehongo discusses Peripapillary intrachoroidal cavitation and biomechanical considerations in a multi-stage narrative. Peripapillary intrachoroidal cavitation is a complication of highly myopic eyes found in up to 22% of cases. It is a well-circumscribed yellow-orange lesion located at the outer border of the myopic conus. However, this aspect may be absent in half of the cases of Peripapillary intrachoroidal cavitations. (1) This myopic complication is related to visual field defects mimicking those of glaucoma. (2) Diagnosing this entity is more clinically relevant than ever since forecasts predict that 50% of people will be myopic by 2050. (3)
