AB  - Focal choroidal excavation (FCE) has recently been described as one or more 
      localized areas of choroidal excavation on spectral-domain optical coherence 
      tomography (SD-OCT). The authors describe a case of bilateral FCE in Best 
      vitelliform macular dystrophy (VMD). SD-OCT revealed FCE in both eyes 
      characterized by interruption of the internal segment-outer segment junction and 
      the presence of subretinal hyporeflective space. This is the first report 
      describing bilateral FCE in a distinct macular disorder and specifically with 
      VMD. Future investigations are warranted to ascertain the involvement of other 
      macular dystrophies with atrophic evolution and the impact of FCE on the clinical 
      course. [Ophthalmic Surg Lasers Imaging Retina. 2014;45:e8-e10.].
