Non-highly myopic eyes were used as control. Radial and linear scans centered on the optic nerve head were performed using spectral-domain optical coherence tomography. Variables were analyzed along the twelve hourly optical coherence tomography sections in both eyes of each subject.\nRESULTS: A total of 667 eyes of 334 subjects were included: 229 (34.3%) highly myopic eyes and 438 (65.7%) non highly myopic eyes. The mean age of the highly myopic group was 48.99\u00b117.81y. PICC was found in a total of 40 eyes and in 13.2% (29\/220) of highly myopic eyes. PICC was found in 10.4% (40\/386) of eyes with \u03b3PPA, in 20.5% (40\/195) of eyes with PPS and in 22.7% (40\/176) of those combining \u03b3PPA and PPS. All the eyes with PICC showed the co-existence of \u03b3PPA and PPS whereas none of the eyes presenting only one of these entities exhibited PICC. A border tissue discontinuity in the \u03b3PPA area was found in all eyes with PICC.\nCONCLUSION: We confirm the presence of a border tissue discontinuity in the \u03b3PPA area of all eyes with PICC. These findings suggest the involvement of mechanical factors in the pathogenesis of PICC which may contribute to PICC-related visual field defects.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.18240\/ijo.2023.12.20","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,11,23]],"date-time":"2023-11-23T08:38:27Z","timestamp":1700728707000},"page":"2063-2070","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["Peripapillary intrachoroidal cavitation at the crossroads of peripapillary myopic changes"],"prefix":"10.18240","volume":"16","author":[{"name":"H&#xF4;pital Erasme, Bruxelles 1070, Belgium","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ad\u00e8le","family":"Ehongo","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Nacima","family":"Kisma","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"name":"H&#xF4;pital Erasme, Bruxelles 1070, Belgium","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yassir Alaoui","family":"Mhammedi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"name":"H&#xF4;pital Erasme, Bruxelles 1070, Belgium","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Artemise","family":"Dugauquier","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"name":"H&#xF4;pital Erasme, Bruxelles 1070, Belgium","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kevin","family":"Coppens","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"name":"Cosma Consulting Sijsjesdreef 13, Enghien 7850, Belgium","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Elo\u00efse","family":"Wellens","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"name":"Universit&#xE9; Libre de Bruxelles, Bruxelles 1070, Belgium","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Viviane de","family":"Maertelaere","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"name":"Biostatistics, IRIBHM Universit&#xE9; Libre de Bruxelles, Bruxelles 1070, Belgium","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Fran\u00e7oise","family":"Bremer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"name":"H&#xF4;pital Erasme, Bruxelles 1070, Belgium","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Karelle","family":"Leroy","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"name":"Laboratory of Histology, Universit&#xE9; Libre de Bruxelles, Bruxelles 1070, Belgium","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"7543","container-title":["International Journal of Ophthalmology"],"original-title":[],"link":[{"URL":"http:\/\/ies.ijo.cn\/en_publish\/2023\/12\/20231220.pdf","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2023,11,23]],"date-time":"2023-11-23T08:38:58Z","timestamp":1700728738000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"http:\/\/ies.ijo.cn\/gjyken\/ch\/reader\/view_abstract.aspx?file_no=20231220&flag=1"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2023,12,18]]},"references-count":0,"journal-issue":{"issue":"12","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2023,12,18]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.18240\/ijo.2023.12.20","relation":{},"ISSN":["2222-3959","2227-4898"],"issn-type":[{"value":"2222-3959","type":"print"},{"value":"2227-4898","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2023,12,18]]}}}
