Figure 3: OCT scans
Right eye: 1–3 show slices from different levels: 1. foveolar: normal retinal profile, no cystoid macular oedema, but intraretinal hyperreflective foci visible as well as reduced thickness of outer retina and granular irregularity at its level (rectangular frames); 2. superior part of the atrophy: two atrophic areas separated with preserved retina. Extent of RPE atrophy (solid lines) is larger than outer retinal loss (dashed line); 3. central part of the atrophy: loss of RPE and outer retinal layers. Outer retinal tubulation marked with an arrow.
Left eye: 4. nasal area of atrophy with visible hyporeflective wedge (arrowhead).
On images 3 and 4 subretinal hyperreflective material is marked with asterisks. Also increased transmission to the choroid is present on the images along atrophic regions.
