Figure 1
B-scans of 3-D OCT. Two wide hyporeflective spaces split the retina. Anteroposterior or oblique linear columns form a bridge across a superficial wide hyporeflective space. In the same layer, there is a large cystoid space in the fovea (line N). This layer is probably the outer plexiform layer. Deeper cleavage is seen in the parafoveal area but not in the fovea (line P). This layer is probably the outer nuclear layer. Small cystoid spaces (arrowhead) are seen in the superficial parafoveal retina that split the retina (line M). This layer is probably the nerve fibre layer or the ganglion cell layer.

Figure 2
C-scans of 3-D OCT. C-scans M, N, and P correspond to the same depth of the B-scans (fig 1) in lines M, N, and P. *The location of the fovea. (M) A large cystic space is seen in the fovea and the retina, which includes the small cystic spaces. The small spaces found in the B-scan are confirmed in the C-scan. (N) This space is equivalent to a superficial schisis and shows the space in the fovea and the columns around it. In B-scan images, the spaces between the columns are hypothesised to be cystic space; however, in C-scan images, these spaces are not cystic, and many columns can be seen in a large space (schisis). (P) This is equivalent to the deeper schisis and shows the hyperreflective area (no schisis) in the fovea and the large space (schisis) around the fovea.
