A 35-year-old myopic woman presented with progressive diminution of vision. The best-corrected visual acuity was 20/120 OU. The anterior segment was unremarkable. Fundus showed a central deep staphyloma within a subtle larger excavation at posterior pole OU. Detailed examination revealed scarred CNV at the inferior edge of inner staphyloma at the fovea in the right eye (OD), left eye (OS) showed full-thickness macular hole and posterior pole retinal detachment with myopic foveoschisis within inner staphyloma, both better appreciated on OCT [Figure 1]. | Figure 1: (a) OD Posterior staphyloma (Black arrow), inner staphyloma (white arrow), scarred CNV (black asterisk).

Posterior staphyloma might affect approximately 1 billion population in 2050.[1],[2] Morphologically, it can be demonstrated by fundus photography, OCT, and orbital MRI.[3] Curtin's type VI, though rare, is associated with poor visual outcomes.[4] Although complications such as CNV and macular hole can be treated with variable prognosis, future therapeutic approaches for pathologic myopia should target to prevent and treat staphylomas before complications occur.
