NA = not available; SFChT = subfoveal choroidal thickness; Laser = laser photocoagulation. Patient 7 had bilateral lesions (2 FCEs): the right eye with 1 FCE was concurrent with CSC, and the left eye with 1 FCE was asymptomatic. Patient 12 had two distinct lesions in the same eye concurrent with CSC. In patient 13, the photoreceptor tips remained separated from the RPE by a small hyporeflective space, after complete resolving of serous retinal detachment. In patient 16, the photoreceptor tips remained separated from the RPE by a small hyperreflective material, after complete resolving of serous retinal detachment. Patient 17 had bilateral lesions (3 FCEs): the right eye with 1 FCE was concurrent with CSC, and the left eye with 2 distinct FCEs was asymptomatic.
