Peripapillary Intrachoroidal Cavitation and Optic Pit in a Case of High Myopia and Glaucoma
Purpose: To report a case of peripapillary intrachoroidal cavitation (choroidal schisis) and optic pit in a case of high myopia and open-angle glaucoma. Case report: A 30-year-old high myopic man was referred to our clinic for presumed peripapillary choroidal tumors. In funduscopy, there were two yellow-orange and slightly elevated peripapillary lesions in both eyes with indistinct margins. A s...

Myopia is a major cause of visual impairment and its prevalence is increasing globally at an alarming rate. High pathologic myopia is described as myopia with associated degenerative changes in the sclera, choroid and retinal pigment epithelium, resulting initially in loss of visual acuity (VA). Excessive elongation of the globe and posterior staphyloma are the hallmark findings in pathological...
متن کاملIntraocular Pressure and Glaucomatous Optic Neuropathy in High Myopia.
Purpose To examine the association between intraocular pressure (IOP) and the prevalence of glaucomatous optic neuropathy (GON) in high myopia. Methods The hospital-based observational study consisted of patients treated in the Tokyo High Myopia Clinics and for whom fundus photographs and IOP readings were available. The appearance of the optic nerve head on fundus photographs was the basis f...
متن کاملPurinergic dysregulation causes hypertensive glaucoma-like optic neuropathy.
Glaucoma is an optic neuropathy characterized by progressive degeneration of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) and visual loss. Although one of the highest risk factors for glaucoma is elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) and reduction in IOP is the only proven treatment, the mechanism of IOP regulation is poorly understood. We report that the P2Y6 receptor is critical for lowering IOP and that abla...
متن کاملIschaemic optic neuropathy in chronic simple glaucoma.
The characteristic visual field changes of early glaucoma occur in the Bjerrum area of the visual field and are related to damage of the arcuate nerve fibre bundles (Traquair, 1944; Harrington, i964a). The susceptibility of these nerve fibre bundles at the optic nerve head to functional changes, whether reversible, relative, or absolute, is the prime characteristic feature of the glaucomatous p...
