- Fundus photograph of an 83-year-old male with a history of Diabetes, smoking, cataract surgery on the right eye in 2022, and open-angle glaucoma. Asymptomatic. Indirect ophthalmoscopy revealed 80% excavation, peripapillary atrophy, and a hyperpigmented perifoveal lesion with 35% atrophy, 10% drusen, and 5.1 mm diameter, corresponding to a CHRPE. At multimodal imaging, FFA shows hypoautofluorescence of the lesion, OCT shows preservation of internal retinal layers, atrophy of external retinal layer, with an RPE disruption, and posterior shadowing. USG shows a flat hyperechoic lesion 5.1 mm in diameter and 1.32 mm in thickness, solid and with high internal reflectance.
