Abstrakt: B: Fundus autofluorescence shows decreased autofluorescence in correspondence of the CM with surrounding increased autofluorescence extending inferior to the optic disc. Optical coherence tomography scan (OCT) showed peripapillary choroidal thickening, consistent with peripapillary pachychoroid syndrome, and a serous macular detachment (Figure 3).
