(a) Scanning electron microscopy examination revealed one side of the inner part of the choroidal split. The region covered by the retinal pigment epithelium cells shows multiple interdigitations that were formed by numerous microvilli on top of the retinal pigment epithelium cells while the retinal pigment epithelium-denuded region appears as a smooth interface of Bruch's membrane. Br: Bruch's membrane; retinal pigment epithelium: Retinal pigment epithelium. (b) One side of the intrachoroidal splitting observed by scanning electron microscopy showed the outer intrachoroidal interface. The two arrows point to large-sized choroidal vessel indentations on the surface. One ruptured choroidal vessel tip is observed (). (c) Scanning electron microscopy revealed that the diameter of the ruptured choroidal vessel was 19.1 μm, as large as the diameter of the nearby choroidal vessel indentation. A red blood cell is observed near the tip of the ruptured large-sized choroidal vessel
