Intrachoroidal cavitation (ICC) is a morphological feature outlined by optical coherence tomography and is characterized by presence of a hyporeflective space beneath the unaltered retinal pigment epithelium. It can be peripapillary or macular in location. Macular ICCs are reported in both myopic and non-myopic eyes. We report a case of full thickness macular hole with retinal incarceration into the macular ICC in a patient with pathological myopia. The term "Peripapillary sink hole" has been described in the literature. We propose the use of term "Macular sink hole" for our case owing to similar findings in the macula.
脉络膜内空洞(ICC)是一种通过光学相干断层扫描勾勒出的形态学特征,其特点是在未改变的视网膜色素上皮下方存在低反射空间。它可位于视乳头周围或黄斑区。近视和非近视眼中均有黄斑ICC的报道。我们报告了一例病理性近视患者出现全层黄斑裂孔且视网膜嵌顿于黄斑ICC的病例。文献中已描述了“视乳头周围下沉孔”这一术语。由于黄斑区有类似表现,我们建议将我们病例中的情况称为“黄斑下沉孔”。
