Fundus photograph and SD-OCT scan as well as fundus autofluorescence image (FAF) of the right eye of a 70-year-old woman with hypertensive choroidopathy. In the fundus image numerous Elschnig's spots are visible. Note the Hollenhorst plaque in the superior temporal artery. In the SD-OCT scan (green line on the fundus image) the RPE layer is uneven. Numerous hypo and hyperautofluorescent patches can be seen in the fundus autofluorescence image.

Elschnig spot. Localized choroidal infarction with loss of choriocapillaris, RPE, and outer layers of the retina. The thinned inner nuclear layer of the retina rests against Bruch's membrane. At the anterior margin (lower left view) there is an abrupt transition (arrow) between the normal area (left) where the choriocapillaris and RPE are intact and the area of post-ischemic atrophy of the structures (right). A similar but reversed configuration is observed at the posterior margin (lower right view).
