Figure 5

Sample case of outer-wall shift to temporal side (left eye of 59-year-old woman with glaucoma, axial length of 26.35 mm). (A) Disc photograph. The arrowhead indicates the location of the central retinal vascular trunk (CRVT). The dotted lines indicate the location of the OCT scan. (B) Infrared images. (B1) Bruch’s membrane opening (BMO, red dots), anterior scleral opening (ASCO, blue dots), CRVT position (yellow dot), and meridian of longest externally oblique border (EOB, black dot) are marked. (B2) Best-fitted ellipses for BMO (orange ellipse) and ASCO (purple ellipse) are drawn with their centers (orange dot for BMO center, purple dot for ASCO center). (C) B-scan OCT images. (C1) original image. (C2) image with labels, which clearly shows emergence of CRVT (arrowhead). The green lines indicate the anterior scleral surface. Please note that both the CRVT and ASCO offsets are headed temporally, while the extent is larger for the CRVT offset than for the ASCO offset.
