Based on the analysis of OCT images of the determined types of nevi, it can be assumed that all of them initially had typical OCT pattern. With enlargement of the nevi and increase in the duration of its presence in the choroid, dystrophic processes in the adjacent retina and changes in RPE begin to occur. Disturbed pumping ability of the damaged RPE results in disruption of the trophism of adjacent retina, which leads to development of atrophic changes. Nevi with atypical OCT pattern should be considered as a sign of long-term benign process in the choroid that will cause atrophic changes in the choroid and adjacent retina, while nevi with changes in RPE and with neuroepithelial detachment - as a risk factor for transition to choroidal melanoma.
