Popis: Three cases of pigmentary epithelial tears are described in this study. One of them was related to previous extrafoveal photocoagulation, whereas the other two were idiopathic. Fluorescein angiography (FA) and optical coherence tomography (OCT) were performed to confirm the clinical diagnosis.Few studies using OCT to assess pigmentary retinal epithelial (RPE) tears have been published in the world literature. The main findings of our study included hyper-reflectant line breaks, choroidal hyper-reflectance due to the lack of RPE and RPE double layering where it was folded. Images were frequently associated with RPE tears and neurosensorial retinal detachment.
