Optical coherence tomography angiography features of focal choroidal excavation and the choroidal stroma variations with occurrence of excavation

Conclusion: Deep capillary plexus and choriocapillaris plexus were significantly altered in FCE patients. Moreover, choroidal stroma was significantly reduced in the areas closer to FCE compared to the surrounding choroid in patients, as well as compared to healthy controls, suggesting the hypothesis of weakening of the architectural support, creating a more friable point, which can favor FCE development.
