We report the imaging characteristics of focal choroidal excavation (FCE) and associated choroidal neovascular membrane (CNVM) and interpret the probable etiopathogenesis of FCE through findings in four patients detected by spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT). FCE was found as an acquired entity in two of our cases subsequent to treatment of CNVM, whereas in the two other cases FCE was pre-existing. Furthermore, association of FCE with pachychoroid spectrum is reaffirmed through this case series.
我们报告了局灶性脉络膜凹陷(FCE)及其相关脉络膜新生血管膜(CNVM)的影像学特征,并通过对四名患者的频域光学相干断层扫描(SD-OCT)检查结果,对 FCE 的可能发病机制进行了阐释。在我们的两个病例中,FCE 是在 CNVM 治疗后作为获得性实体发现的,而在另外两个病例中,FCE 是预先存在的。此外,通过本病例系列进一步证实了 FCE 与厚脉络膜谱的关联。
