FCE was noted in 31 eyes of 26 patients \u2013 unilateral in 21 and bilateral in 5. The conforming type was noted in 13 and nonconforming in 19 eyes. The location was extrafoveal in 16 and subfoveal in 15 eyes. The morphology was bowl-shaped in 24, cone-shaped in six eyes, and mixed type in one eye. Associated pathologies were central serous chorioretinopathy in nine eyes, choroidal neovascular membrane in seven eyes, Stargardt\u2018s disease in three eyes, Best disease in four eyes, other retinal dystrophies in two eyes, polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy and moderate non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy, each in one eye. The mean FCE width was 1667.2 \u00b1 817.7 \u03bc, mean depth was 95.7 \u00b1 46.4 \u03bc, and the mean choroidal thickness under the FCE was 234.8 \u00b1 85.9 \u03bc. No abnormal choroidal tissue was found under any FCE.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>FCE is a relatively common entity and frequently associated with macular pathologies.
