Pachychoroid in the posterior pole was the common finding in type 3 UES and CSC, although extensive pachychoroid in the peripheral fundus may have caused retinal and choroidal detachment in the eye with type 3 UES. Full-thickness sclerectomies with mitomycin-C improved pachychoroid in the peripheral fundus and resolved retinal and choroidal detachment, clearly indicating that the sclera was the main cause of type 3 UES.
