Özet

This article reports the case of a 55-year-old female patient who presented with visual deterioration and previously known myopia. Funduscopy revealed a tilted optic disc along with a peripapillary staphyloma and a yellowish lesion on the inferior border of the optic disc. Optical coherence tomography showed an intrachoroidal cavitation. Multimodal imaging characteristics of this clinical entity are provided in this case report.
