Intraretinal Sclero-Choroidal Vessels in Eyes with Severe Chorioretinal Thinning: Hypothesis on Bruch’s Membrane Failure
ISCVs represent a novel structural finding characterized by passive migration of a sclero-choroidal vessel into the retina through areas of BM disruption. ISCVs are non-proliferative and clinically stable, and should be distinguished from more typical exudative lesions on structural OCT. Recognition of ISCVs avoids misdiagnosis and unnecessary treatment.
