Fig. 3 — Spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) images are extracted from the areas of the dashed arrows on the infrared fundus images. The SD-OCT images show that the retina appears thinner temporal to the macula in both eyes. SD-OCT reveals that the central foveal thicknesses were 158 μm in the right eye and 244 μm left eyes (A, B, C, E, G). The external limiting membrane line (ELM) and the ellipsoid zone of the photoreceptors (EZ) line are not be seen in the foveal region in the right eye (C) and temporal to the macula in both eyes (C, E) (arrows). The images also show the characteristic intraretinal hyperreflective foci (white arrowheads) and intrachoroidal hyperreflective foci (black arrowheads) in both eyes (A–G). The number of retinal and choroidal hyrerreflective foci increased corresponding to the extent of the disappearance of the ELM and EZ line with thinning of the outer nuclear layer (ONL) (A–G). A magnified image of the area outline by the dashed line in the SD-OCT image (C, E) shows that a great number of the hyperreflective foci in the ONL (white arrowheads) and the choriocapillaris (black arrowheads) in the foveal region in the right eye compared with the left eye (D, F). IR, infrared fundus image; OD, right eye; OS, left eye.
