The eyes treated for axial myopia control have had significant macular schisis present in fewer than 15% of the cases. Where schisis was present, additional tension was provided to the buckle. [retinalphysician.com]

Pallor
[…] choroidal pallor and tessellation, and the border of an ectasia posteriorly was visualised: M3 indicated pallor and tessellation with several yellowish lacquer cracks in Bruch's membrane and posterior staphyloma; M4 showed choroidal pallor and tessellation [slideshare.net]
This is evident especially within the staphyloma itself, where the fundus pallor is exaggerated by the increased visibility of the underlying sclera. With time and progression, traction and tension phenomena are observed. [medtextfree.wordpress.com]

Sinus Arrest
In all three individuals, the basic manifestations of the SSS were total sinus arrest with secondary AV junctional rhythm at a normal rate. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Treatment
Sixteen eyes required only one treatment. Three eyes required more than one because of incomplete closure of the new vessels after the first treatment. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
If this occurs, immediate treatment is needed, which may be in the form of photodynamic therapy, antiangiogenic drug treatment or both. (Source: www.revoptom.com) Treatment for Prevention of Degenerative Myopia Four treatments are showing promise. [lowvision.preventblindness.org]

Prognosis
Clinical course and prognosis: Chronic progressive myopia will result in increasing loss of visual acuity. The prognosis for subretinal neovascularization is poor. The incidence of retinal detachment is higher in myopic eyes. [alpfmedical.info]

Continued break formation results in a reticular pattern that usually is most obvious in the deepest recess of the staphyloma and portends a guarded prognosis for central vision. [medtextfree.wordpress.com]
Patients with retinal detachments, myopic macular degeneration and staphylomas may have a poorer prognosis depending upon the location of the problem. [eyeassociates.com]

Epidemiology
Epidemiology: Chorioretinal atrophy due to myopia is rare. Pathogenesis: The atrophy usually occurs in the presence of severe myopia exceeding minus 6 diopters. [alpfmedical.info]

Pathophysiology
It is indeed similar to AMD in pathophysiology but the damage to Bruch's membrane, rods, cones do not come from age related changes but from mechanical stretching of the tissues from the very long myopic eye. I cannot give you an incidence rate. [medhelp.org]
Although the pathophysiology is unknown, there are evidences - as the world standard for the disease distribution-indicating genetic influences. [medical-clinical-reviews.imedpub.com]
We suggest that the increase in sCD44 concentration in POAG AH is secondary to an underlying heterogeneous pathophysiology and that AH levels of sCD44 may be influenced by other factors. [bmcresnotes.biomedcentral.com]
The pathophysiology of this progressive, degenerative form of myopia is unknown. [medtextfree.wordpress.com]
However, the functional changes induced by the structural changes and the possible pathophysiologic mechanisms are still being researched. [nature.com]

Buckling adult eyes can stabilize axial length and minimize future macular degeneration, but it cannot prevent the continuation of degenerative processes, which are already at work. [mvrf.org]
