病理性近视相对高度近视而言，更强调眼底并发症的存在。后巩膜葡萄肿(posterior staphyloma，PS)被认为是病理性近视的标志性特征，是眼球后巩膜壁的局部扩张，通常认为与巩膜变薄和脉络膜萎缩等因素相关。近年来研究认为P S的形成可能与局部炎症、Bruch膜缺失等因素密切相关。伴随OCT等检查技术的快速革新以及P S治疗手段的探索，诊断和治疗更加完善。

Pathological myopia emphasizes the existence of fundus complications. Posterior staphyloma, considered as a hallmark of pathological myopia, is a partial extension of the posterior scleral wall, which is believed to be related to the scleral thinning and choroidal atrophy. In recent years, studies have indicated that the formation of posterior staphyloma may closely connected with localized inflammation and defects of Bruch’s membrane.With the rapid innovation of examination technologies such as optical coherence tomography (OCT) and the exploration of treatment for posterior staphyloma. The diagnosis and therapy will be more comprehensive in the future.
