Summary
This case report details an unusual macular hole (MH) linked to a choroidal cavitation in a nonmyopic eye, demonstrating secondary choroidal neovascularization (CNV). This finding expands understanding of choroidal cavitary disease.
Area of Science:
- Ophthalmology
- Retinal Diseases
- Optical Coherence Tomography
Background:
- Choroidal cavitations are typically found near the optic disc and in myopic eyes.
- Eccentric macular holes (MH) and choroidal neovascularization (CNV) are significant retinal conditions.
