Fig. 3.

Spectral domain optical coherence tomographic (SD-OCT) images of the right eye with infrared reflectance image (A, C). A: Green arrow and red arrow indicate the scanned location in Fig. 3B and D, respectively. B: SD-OCT image centered on the fovea showing mild elevations of the RPE in an extensive area. C: The yellow circled area which was obtained from 12 radial scans (green lines) centered on the fovea of the SD-OCT images, indicating the area where the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) is elevated. Note that this area corresponds approximately with the choroidal hypo-fluorescent area on ICGA (Fig. 2D). D-F: Black arrowheads indicate steep dome-shaped elevations of the RPE overlying the dilated choroidal veins. They are accompanied by discontinuous moderate hyperreflective material (red arrows) beneath the RPE and no Bruch's membrane at the expected level. These RPE elevations are contiguous with placoid-shaped elevations of the RPE (RPE detachments) that are accompanied by hyperreflective line of Bruch's membrane (red arrowheads) at the expected level. Hyperreflective granular materials (black arrows) are seen within the RPE/Bruch's membrane complex, corresponding with the discrete drusen.
